From a local shop to a brand shipping across India: the story of Shripad Steel Home

Read on hostinger.com

Summary

A family‑run shop in Solapur pivoted from steel utensils to miniature brass toys and used Hostinger’s AI‑driven drag‑and‑drop site builder to launch an e‑commerce site in a week, enabling a 20‑25 % annual growth and a split of online/offline sales.

  • Building a custom storefront with a low‑code builder can cut launch time from months to days, but the trade‑off is limited technical control.
  • Marketplace channels (Amazon, Flipkart) drive volume; a brand‑owned site yields higher average order value (15‑20 items per order).
  • Integrated payment (Stripe, Razorpay) and SEO AI tools reduce operational overhead for solo founders.

Shows how non‑technical founders can leverage SaaS website builders to scale niche e‑commerce quickly, highlighting the business impact of channel diversification and the limits of low‑code solutions for deeper customisation.
