You sit down at your desk, ready to tackle that complex coding challenge that's been giving you the cold sweats all week. You've read every blog post, watched every tutorial, and reviewed every relevant code repository. You're feeling confident, even a little cocky. You're about to write the best code ever, and nothing can stop you. Or so you thought. Hours pass. You've got nothing to show for it. Zero lines of code written. You've been consumed by the endless possibilities of how to solve the problem. You've considered every architectural consideration, weighed every pro and con, and even tried your hand at some freeform rock improvisation on your keyboard. But, alas, you've got nothing to show for it.  We've all been there. That feeling of frustration that comes from having all the right tools, all the right knowledge, and all the right intentions, but still not being able to create anything meaningful. It's a bit like being a writer with a bla...

Our friends are an important part of our lives. They are the ones we laugh with, share our secrets with, and turn to in times of need. But they can also be a source of inspiration and guidance, especially when we are trying to navigate the complexities of the business world. At Chat2Order , we are lucky to have a group of friends who have been with us through thick and thin, and who continue to inspire us every day. They may have gained some pounds and lost some hair, but they are still the coolest bunch of people we know. Here, we'll take a closer look at some of them and how they are helping us be better. Dubious Data Dude : Our school friend who loves to sing, play harmonica, and paint. He's a multi-talented Data Engineer who always keeps us entertained with his funny anecdotes and short skits. He's also the first person to ask us, "I bought once, why should I buy from you again?" This question has helped us think deeply about how we can retain our users and ke...

As the founders of Chat2Order , we're always on the move, both literally and figuratively. When we're not working on the latest feature or chatting with sellers and buyers, we're probably running - literally! We're not the fastest runners out there, but we make up for it with our persistence and ability to come up with ideas on the go (or maybe it's just the lack of oxygen to the brain). And let's be honest, we need all the ideas we can get. Yes, that's right. We're both lazy and casual runners, and we often find that our best ideas come to us while we're out pounding the pavement. Maybe it's the endorphins, maybe it's the polluted air, or maybe it's just the fact that we're not staring at a screen. Whatever it is, we'll take it. We just completed the TSK25K in mid-December through the heart of Kolkata, and our legs are still recovering. And don't worry, we don't just talk about work while we're running. We also talk a...

We're not just a team of tech wizards - we're also masters of the art of debate. Why? Because when it comes to choosing what features to roll out next, we're like a bunch of medieval knights jousting for glory. Only instead of horses and lances, we use our brains and... well, more brains. After all, we're all about brains, not brawn! So how do we choose which feature gets the royal treatment? It's not easy, folks. We've got a list of 100+ ideas that would make your head spin faster than a carousel at the county fair. But fear not, we've got a secret weapon: the power of persuasion. We put our best arguments forward, we plead our cases, and we try to win over the hearts and minds of ourselves (very difficulty 😲). It's like a game of chess, but with more trash-talking and less checkmate. Of course, we can't just choose any feature. We've got standards, people. We want features that will help us achieve our ultimate goal: world domination. Just kid...

At Chat2Order, we pride ourselves on innovation and experimentation. We are constantly exploring new ways to improve the buying and selling experience for our customers and partners. However, we also understand that not all experiments will be successful. In fact, some of the most valuable lessons we learn come from our failures. One such experience took place at the 46th International Kolkata Book Fair , where we attempted to conduct a lucky draw for customers by scanning a QR code. Our intention was authentic, but unfortunately, there were frauds and scammers at the book fair who were cheating people.  We soon realized that our experiment had unintended consequences. There were reports of fraud and scamsters taking advantage of the book fair, using QR codes to cheat people. In fact, several complaints had been filed regarding the increase of fraud cases in the Kolkata International Book Fair (source: Anandabazar Patrika ). As a result, we had to make the tough call of not going t...

At Chat2Order , we are always innovating and growing, but it’s important to reflect on our roots and the first partnership that set us on this path. We reached out to a school friend who was a founder of Kalpabiswa , a publisher specializing in science fiction and fantasy stories. He believed in our idea and helped bring it to life, even convincing his other partners to join the collaboration. Working with such a passionate and forward-thinking team was an incredible experience, and we are proud of the partnership we have built with Kalpabiswa. The collaboration with Kalpabiswa was not just about sales but also about innovation. They trusted us to experiment with new features and ideas, and together we created a unique shopping experience for fans of science fiction and fantasy. We brainstormed and tested new concepts to create a buying experience that was not only seamless but also enjoyable for their customers. Our first partnership with Kalpabiswa was more than just a business rela...

Chat2Order is a unique e-commerce platform that provides a chat-based solution for buying and selling products online. But did you know that it all started with two school friends who shared a common passion for technology and entrepreneurship? From the corporate world to co-founding Chat2Order, it has been an exciting journey for us. After spending more than 20 years in separate IT organizations, we decided to venture out on our own. We had a shared passion for technology and a desire to make a difference in the world. With that in mind, we started brainstorming and experimenting with new ideas. We started with one concept, but based on experiment results, we ended up with a completely different feature. It was a long and challenging process, but we were determined to create a unique platform that would make life easier for both sellers and buyers. Months of hard work and dedication culminated in the launch of Chat2Order, a platform that offers customers a seamless buying experience ...
