I work in IT Hybrid schedule should travel Bangalore to Hyderabad almost every month. Every time I check for train tickets they are either RAC or waitlisted. I end up risking a waiting ticket or paying a lot more for a private bus. The train is affordable but never confirmed. The bus is confirmed but too expensive. I am stuck choosing between the two every single month. Private buses on this route run 30 to 40 percent empty. Moving waitlisted passengers into those empty seats at a price between train fare and bus fare solves this without adding a single new vehicle.
Two years back we started our first clothing brand and within a couple of months 35% of orders started coming back. Not because products were damaged but wrong size or colour. Every returned item felt like money we already spent going nowhere. Small sellers like us in Tier 2 cities have no system for this and nobody is helping. As a seller the biggest relief would be knowing that every product that leaves your warehouse never comes back. Someone who collects these returns from customers, sorts the good ones and sells them to local vendors or B2B platforms builds a real business out of what everyone else is treating as a loss.
