  • Introduction

    Gojavas makes a humble beginning

    Gojavas makes a humble beginning
  • Gojavas was founded in 2013 as the logistics arm of e-tailer Jabong, to provide "reliable, time-bound logistics and supply-chain" solutions to its business associates.

    Gojavas was started by Vijay Ghadge with a team of 20 people.

    The company became a separate entity in late 2013; however, Jabong still accounted for as many as half of its 1 lakh shipments per day.

  • Data

    Customers all around!

  • Gojavas caters to around 30,000 consumers in 85 cities everyday.

    Prior to this, Gojavas was serving online fashion retailer Jabong (former parent) exclusively.

    Sources also revealed that presently, 30-40% of the company's business was coming from outside of Jabong.

    Gojavas lets you 'try before you buy'

    Gojavas lets you 'try before you buy'
  • Gojavas started a 'try-before-you-buy' programme in the e-retail business.

    Under this scheme, the customers are allowed to try out their product before "accepting or returning it" and the delivery boys wait till they do that.

    However, this service came with a 30-40% premium price and hence the response had been mixed.

    Lenskart was the first to make use of this with Gojavas.

  • Information

    Other 'try-before-you-buy' variants

  • A similar version of the try-before-you-buy service called Go Open was adopted by Jabong and DonebyNone, which allowed buyers to "open the packets before making payments".
