IKEA

Story: While IKEA had been sourcing from India for over 35 years and working with 1,200 local artisans, they opened up a store in Hyderabad in 2018. And soon after started e-commerce operations in Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune. The brand has also introduced ‘Click & Collect’, a contactless and safe shopping service in Hyderabad.
Web Experience: Navigation is easy, as is locating what you want. We love the special ‘new lower price’ and ‘sustainable living’ sections. There’s a ‘room’ tab that has curated looks for every room in your home and you can easily ‘shop the look’.
Add to Cart: There’s something for every nook and corner here. Our recommendation, shop LJUV, their festive collection, work from home furniture and accessories as well as planters.
Price Range: ₹399 to ₹5,000 (LJUV)
