About the editor
Bikram Nath
Founder & Editor, PakkaPick · Pune, India
I'm Bikram Nath. I founded and edit PakkaPick, an independent buying-guide site built specifically for Indian shoppers. Every recommendation here is researched by one person — me — against the conditions Indian buyers actually live with: 220V supply and voltage swings, hard water in much of the country, monsoon humidity, extreme summer heat, and smaller flat sizes than the Western default.
What I focus on
Beyond product picks, I build original-data tools that answer the questions Indian buyers actually ask before spending — especially the running cost of an appliance, not just its sticker price:
- Cost of running appliances in India — real yearly electricity cost by appliance, from BEE label data.
- Appliance running cost by state — the same, priced against each state's electricity tariff.
- India e-commerce statistics 2026 — sourced data on the Indian online-shopping market.
- Our methodology — exactly how products are researched and ranked.
Editorial independence
PakkaPick is funded mainly by the Amazon Associates programme — when you buy through a link, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I never accept payment to rank a product. The occasional sponsorship is labelled as paid on the page and sits outside the ranking. The order of products reflects editorial ranking only.
