Dippack Agavar: Become the King of the electric business with the experience of pornography website

Aim for the shopper: "Behind every shouting person, we have 20 to 25 satisfied consumers." ”

The next meeting is 15 minutes away, and Dippack Agavar (Deepak Agarwal) is standing at a corner of the Manhattan Diamond area (Diamond District) waiting for a chartered hire to pull him fast to somewhere 20 blocks south. The 29-Year-old founder of nomorerack.com, a cheap commodity electronics retailer, has just signed an order with a jeweler in the five-storey, stuffy, dimly lit office. Next activity: Bedding purchase. The stocky Agarwal sweat in the late spring. The flat-head hairstyle made him look like a teenager, with canvas shoes, jeans and a loose-collar Oxford-spun shirt. When a black Saberman (suburban) stopped by, he laughed--the way he preferred to move around the city, and a black suit driver jumped off and opened the door. "I am a VIP customer. He said with a sign of giggle.

Although he knew that people were waiting for him, Agarwal didn't push the driver. After his appearance, the meeting began. The feather was as clear to the supplier as the jeweler about his pies, and they waited for Agarwal for 45 minutes.

They will forgive him for this behavior, because no website has sold its products as much as nomorerack. Since Agarwal, who knows him, is Tadi (Dee)--Since the creation of the company in November 2010, it has been trading at a low gross margin (about 25%) in exchange for huge sales (2, 400多万件). Nomorerack sells Low-cost tablet computers, grindstone, rings, boxers, sun skirts and LED light bulbs and other commodities. After registering or following the sale of email to the website, people can find goods that are only 50 percent to 80 percent of the price of other retailers.

If Agarwal is credible, the site's sales have increased from $9 million trillion in 2011 to $340 million trillion last year, with the company expecting sales of $85 million trillion. He said sales revenue this year will exceed 700 million dollars. Maybe, or maybe not. Nomorerack is a privately owned company. Sucharita Mulpuru, an e-commerce expert at Forrester Research (Forrester), said, "I would not fully believe anything that was not audited by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)." Sacharita Marproux "means that the data of the listed companies is trustworthy. After two rounds of fundraising, Agarwal said he had 65% per cent of the company's holdings and was very fond of two rounds of capital injections by the company's unnamed investors, bringing 52 million of billions of dollars to the company. Although investors are reluctant to disclose specific valuations, Agarwal that his company is comparable to Zulily, and on the face of it, this contrast is not unreasonable. If the value of that fast-growing electronics retailer is valued, it is clear that Agarwal has a stake of nearly 800 million dollars.

Does it all sound too amazing? It's really amazing. In the last 3 years, consumers have filed 2,670 complaints with the Business Improvement Bureau (decoupled Business according), mainly because of shoddy goods, poor customer service and the protracted return of funds, which the Office of Business Improvement has rated Nomorerack as "F" grade. (most of the complaints were answered by the company, even if the company's response didn't help.) In the same period, Wayfair achieved 915 million U.S. dollars in sales, the company's complaint volume is only 502, so Nomorerack's customer complaints are indeed too large. In addition, Wayfair not so many active enemies. Websites such as ripoff and complaints board are rife with angry clients, such as the "Nomorerack villains" Facebook groups. Agarwal just shrugged. "Behind everyone who shouts loudly, we have 20 to 25 satisfied consumers. "But that means there are still 4% to 5% of customers who despise him."

When it comes to his past, there are parts that he doesn't want to talk about. Agarwal's starting point--and his first bucket of gold--comes from an outsourcing company based in the Philippines and activities in the sex industry that have inextricably links to many adult websites. When confronted with these facts for the first time, Agarwal said, "There are a lot of rumors." I've seen it as the ' Illuminati ' (Illuminati) (also known as the ' Illuminati ' and the ' Illuminati '), a secret organization of the Bavaria during the Enlightenment period, often portrayed as a member of an organization that attempts to plot the behind-the-scenes control of the world. The rumors of a member. ”

Agarwal prefers the "Clean edition" biography, which begins when his parents left him in the middle of the Orlando to live alone in the suburbs, and they returned to India. After graduating in 2003, he said, he ran to the Philippines, where he created a customer service center, the company's business of data entry and telephone support. 4 years later, he followed his girlfriend to Vancouver, British Columbia, Prov., in her hometown, where he sold the company. 2010, he and the other four people together to create the nomorerack.

High school friend Matt Grouver (Matt groover) had different memories of his past. Groover said the teenage Agarwal became obsessed with the sex industry (and its ill-gotten gains). In 2002, Agarwal registered a website with the name of a violent * * * * * *. Agarwal used an address from Florida State Sanford (Sanford), a small farm house where Groover lived, and for several years, Groover received letters and large cheques for Agarwal. Although Groover tried to stop it and had not spoken to Agarwal for almost 10 years, he was able to receive occasional letters to Agarwal.

For the next two years, Agarwal has registered at least seven sites in this way, perhaps two of which can be listed in the publication: Daddysfriend.com and Deecash.com. The two sites do not play * * * *, and most of them are films that previously gathered at theaters near Times Square. At the beginning of 21st century, people would still pay to watch online pornography, according to two industry insiders, Agarwal registered sites can easily earn at least 10 million dollars a year.

A former business partner, Agarwal, is the person behind the Web site. "You can see his boldness and courage from space. "he said. Former rival Jim Carter Jim Carter said Agarwal had dug some of the best Filipino employees from his service, and Carter's company also served the adult sector. He doesn't like Agarwal: "He is a despicable guy." (Agarwal says the service center employs Filipino employees to boost competitiveness.) ）

Agarwal denies running or owning those pornographic sites. He says the customer service center provides designers with a platform for creating ads, which programmers can do to boost the flow of pornographic sites. He says his adult (pornography) client is only a small part of his business. So, if have deecash.com this kind of website is not Die Agavar, who then? "All types of business have their own owners." Asking me who owns what business is a very broad question. "he said.

Regardless of who owns and controls these sites, one thing is for sure, their reputation in the sex industry is really bad. Former business partners and rivals said the sites were engaged in so-called "cross-selling" activities, where customers inadvertently became users of several other sites after registering for a website, and vice executives said they were engaged in "credit card fraud" activities that constantly overpaid customers. Agarwal said: "I have never been involved in any fraudulent activities, nor have I participated in any credit card fraud." "One more thing, BluMedia, a gay pornography company, sued Deecash.com and Deedevelopments.com (a company registered in the name of Agarwal, Nevada), saying the two sites violated BluMedia" gay sportsman " The exclusive right of the trademark of the video. But BluMedia never got a response to the lawsuit from Deecash.com and deedevelopments.com.
