Our Story

Prem Bazaar, the online shopping portal. Indian Products.

It started when founder Balaji Anand couldn't find a backpack that survived his daily commute without costing half a paycheck. He started sourcing durable materials directly from factories in Chennai, Salem, Coimbatore, Trichy, Kanchepuram and entire South India, selling online out of his location.

Within two years, PremBazaar outgrew three warehouses and landed its first major retail partnership. Today we're a team of 74 with a simple mission: give every customer the same quality that used to be reserved for the few.

What We Stand For

Our values aren't a poster. They're a policy.

🌱
Sustainable Sourcing
Every material we use meets our supplier code of conduct. We audit factories annually and publish the results — no greenwashing.
🔍
Radical Transparency
We publish our cost breakdown for every product. If we're charging more than we should, we want you to know it and call us out.
♻️
Repair Over Replace
Our lifetime repair program keeps your gear out of landfill. Mail it back, we fix it free. If we can't fix it, we recycle it responsibly.
🌍
1% for the Planet
One percent of every purchase funds environmental non-profits. To date we've donated over $2.4M to conservation efforts worldwide.
🤝
Fair Wages Always
Our manufacturing partners pay a verified living wage — not just the legal minimum. We walk away from suppliers who don't meet this bar.
📦
Zero Filler Packaging
All packaging is 100% recycled cardboard or compostable mailers. We eliminated plastic bubble wrap in 2021 and haven't looked back.
