We started the business in 2015 and are now re-entering to provide services to customers via the B2C model.
Q2. What do you think is your secret to success and why do Customers prefer Minte?
Minte is one of the leading open-box and pre-owned electronics sellers in India. As e-Commerce has seen unprecedented growth in the country in recent times, founders of Minte ventured into re-commerce with the motive of making mobile phones available at lowest possible prices.

Founded with the aim of providing best-value products, Minte has become the preferred online seller for many that desire to purchase open-box mobile phones.

Q7: The recent COVID-19 pandemic has changed the ways businesses operate. Are you running your business remotely? If yes, how has your experience been thus far?
Due to Covid-19 pandemic, we have lost and done zero business for the last 3 months and now we have started our business remotely. This is because our business required physical presence to continue operating the business.

We haven’t faced any challenges.
