TimesDeal registers record 70,000 deals in a day

New Delhi: TimesDeal.com, the group buying portal of The Times of India Group, set a new record with 70,000 mobile recharge deals in a day. The portal outdid its own feat of 50,000 orders in a day established on December 1, 2011.

The portal offered a special mobile recharge deal on May 9 that allowed users to pay just 50 and get a mobile recharge voucher from PayTM worth 100, doubling the value of their money. The portal got 70,000 orders in a single day, a new record in terms of number of online orders in the e-commerce space in India.

Rishi Khiani, CEO of Times Internet, said, "Offering maximum value for money to customers is core to the deals business. Therefore, the primary focus of TimesDeal has always been to offer users such relevant high value-for-money deals. The repeated overwhelming response bears testimony to this."

Paytm.com, a subsidiary of One97 Communications, is the partner in the deal. It's a leading online company for mobile, DTH and data card recharge. The offer generated an overwhelming response for both Paytm and Timesdeal on the day of the offer.

TimesDeal.com deals include tickets to events, places to see, restaurant deals, shopping deals, etc, across nine cities - Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, Chandigarh, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad.
