Indian Startups – Roundup of new launches – WebVastra and Coveman.
We keep introducing new startups to readers of pluggd.in and here is the next installment. Unlike the regular startups, the startups discussed here are started by a bunch of students.
WebVastra: Started by 5 students from IIT Kharagpur, WebVastra is a simple to use T-shirt customization site (with predefined catchy designs). The USP of webVastra is the customization of T shirts which are sourced from the export house from Tirupur, TN and comes at a pretty cheap cost (Rs. 260+ shipping cost).
Coveman: is a a personal organizer for its users wherein they can go and create their resumes, business cards, diaries, blogs, address books, schedules etc. Users can download/mail the same from the site as well. Manish, the founder states “this is a very new concept combining two of the most important facets of the Internet, convenience and information”.
Please give these products a dekho and do share their comments/feedbacks with the founders.
What impresses me the most is these guy’s entrepreneurial and “lets do it” attitude – right when they are in their college years. (I am sure big number recruiters like Infy will get worried with the new new entrepreneurial drive in Indian techies!]

webvastra loooks interesting! I am not too sure why would one need a prod like coveman?
I ordered a T from webvastra…Nice designs and a great concept.
Good concept and great execution.. great work guys
Keep it up guys!!!!!
the overall concept seems to be very good………a very convenient way of choosing your very own design…..as this group seems new, they have a selected theme for the logos/pictures………. hope you guys increase the number of logos & pictures for all themes i.e. humour, flirting, self centric, etc. & etc.
I ordered a T shirt from Webvastra. the T shirt and website is really cool and interesting
checkout myntra.com . they offer same functionality. Apart from tshirt they have other products too. they have good set of designs too for each product
Well..i hv tried myntra and honestly didnt like the overall exprience. they seem to be a typical case of bad execution..
the colors that I had seen/ordered was completely diff. from what I got.
Will try out webvastra.. iTasveer rocks when it comes to smart Ts.
I ordered a white t-shirt/top from myntra. I got cool customized wrangler t-shirt in less than 300 bucks. Some of their designs are really cool.
I like dilsebol.com too. will try that too.
Well, I don’t care if the brand is Wrangler or some other, what matters is the quality of the T-shirt (I have heard that all these branded companies source material from countries like India only)..The T-shirt that I ordered from webvastra met my expectation…print quality is good too..these guys need to work on their website a bit, but the product they are offering is really cool..itasveer looked too complex for me to use..even their rates are outrageous..
i checked out coveman, its very well made. the site is simple to use yet very comprehensive. and they are adding new stuff very quickly.
think it has good potential …
I tried myntra.com, though their prices looks cheap as they show some discount, but there are a lot of hidden costs, as soon as you finish designing your tshirt you will find that a VAT of 12.5% and shipment costs are also there waiting to be added to your bill.
At webvastra there is no hidden prices. The prices they show is inclusive of all taxes and they even show shipment charges beside t-shirt price. So you know how much is the price you actually need to pay. I have ordered a tshirt from webvastra. Lets see how is the product when it is delivered.
nice, must try!!!
I have tried both webvastra and myntra. T-shirts from both places were quite decent. Myntra was quite better than webvastra but I guess they are charging more for it too. However, webvastra has a long way to go when it comes to print quality. Prints in webvastra had more of a paper-like feel whereas it was much lesser in myntra. But what I really like about myntra is the amazing collection of designs available on the website. webvastra has a long way to go before it can match the sheer number and quality of designs at myntra. Saw dilsebol, looks okay .. will try it too. And of course, VAT sucks. These myntra guys seriously need to work around it.
One of my friend recommended webvastra to me, I am really delighted with the product quality and service by these bunch of IITians. they rock!!!
The quality of the T shirt is real good unlike my expectations and they complement it with excellent customer care, in nutshell they care about customers…Keep it up guys…and keep adding new designs…
Webvastra.com is the bad website when it comes to user experience and navigation. Nothing is clear on the website. Any website is all about user experience which is lacking for webvastra. not sure the product quality but I would never buy a t shirt from such a lousy website. Checked myntra..website atleast looks good, though I cannot comment on their product.
I would some how like to differ from Bobby. I dont think that you ever ordered a T-shirt from webvastra.com. I can bet on this that once you get a T-shirt from webvastra.com this will be the only place where you will buy your T-shirts from. They connect with the customers properly and are very prompt. Now quality, all i can say is they will perception of online shopping in india with such a great quality. I agree to some extent that the need to work on their website, but with their commitment i feel they will do it.
I even got one T shirt with my name and slogan printed which they provided me
Great..
U guys rock ..
try footees.in… i recently saw their recruitment ad in times ascent… good designs… at throw away prices.

Hey! I came across http://www.gnome.in. I’m a student at NIFT and these guys are running a competition for all students!
The designs here are so much better than webvastra or Myntra! But they dont print everything. Only the winning designs are available for ordering.
But for us designers the quality really matters. You guys should take a look.
Gnome seems to be a cool idea..t-shirts are a lot better than what u hv at myntra (which is the worst service in terms of quality and delivery)
I came across pringoo.com recently and did not find myntra or webvastra even close to them. pringoo offers tons of feature and freedom to designer to set their profit percentage on each sell. So that designer can maximize their revenue by having complete control over the percentage. Also designer can make their design further editable for buyer to attract more customer. pringoo also offer free website store for designers.
I see Malvika has mentioned about gnome. But I don’t see it is doing anything different. pringoo and myntra both do have design contest and winning prize money is 5 times more than gnome offers that pretty much prove that designer can earn more money at these two sites.
I have tried myntra and my feedback is that it sucks..their t-shirts are not really wysiwyg stuff.
webvastra so far has been good..but pringoo looks interesting..let me try them
Not sure how many of you tried webvastra.com…the quality they provide is miles ahead of pringoo, myntra….moreover the experience is superb….they have strong team which focus on true customer care
disclosure : i have personally tried T shirts from the sources i mentioned above
Shut up all you advertisers trying to defame others and promote your company. Do that elsewhere – let this be a proper discussion forum. I have tried a couple of these companies and none of them are as good or bad as mentioned here.
hahah….nicely put Saurav…those who are defending or defaming others should at least have the decency to state that you’re part of one of the companies or associated in some way or the other(it might be your company)
Disclosure: I’m not associated with any of these companies! Might work with one in the future tho.
