Flash AI reposted this
Commerce has evolved in waves. Catalog-led. Then influencer-led. The next wave is research-led, where AI assimilates pricing, expert opinions, video reviews, and community signals into a single coherent answer in seconds. A purpose-built product intelligence layer with visual interfaces, social signals, and deep category experiences. We launched Flash AI in September 2025 to build exactly this. 6 million products researched so far across 15,000+ merchants. India is moving fast. The world's largest LLM market by users and the highest adoption rate for shopping. And UPI as the zero-cost payments rail that can boost agentic checkout adoption. The incumbents are building rapidly but will always be optimized for conversion on their platform. We believe what consumers need is an independent, unbiased product intelligence layer, one that is optimized to help consumers make the right purchase and not just for conversions. That's where Flash sits. India's e-commerce market will hit $345B by 2030. A meaningful share will be AI-mediated. The window to capture it is 12–18 months. We're building for it. Btw, we have written a detailed thesis on how AI will reshape shopping in India, covering market dynamics, category sequencing & revenue models.
