Most expensive product on Amazon India By Category

Amazon India today has become the most visited e-commerce site in India. So, I decided to analyze the most expensive products that Amazon India Sells across various category.

So lets start.

Book worth Rs 53,46,000.00



This is quiet modest. I think its a must in every library!

DVD worth Rs 40,045.23



My kids are gonna die uneducated :(

A Flip Cover worth Rs 255,255.00




I would get around 40 actual Micromax Juice phone at the same price.

A pen worth Rs 1,700,000.00




"No doubt a pen is mightier (worthier) then a sword"

Telescope worth Rs 896,000.00



This might actually be a fair price. Should understand technical part of it to comment. Help!

Spoons worth Rs 2,183,731.00




I might by a house with a kitchen at the same price. Though each spoon would just cost you mere 33,000. Thats a relief!

A Game worth Rs 868,434.00



That might be correct again, with import duty on all. I don't know.

MultiGym worth Rs 2,950,000.00



Someone from gym community should comment on this

A bath cereal worth Rs 2,010,000.00



Just 20 lacs for it. I am not sure it would be most expensive breakfast ever or bath ever.

A pair of Socks worth Rs 200,997.98



Ahem! my feet feel warm.

A Shoe worth Rs 102,035.00 

(One of the variants with size 44)




Just for one variant price shoots up 5 times, can't a computer catch that.

A Bag worth Rs 90,000



I am not a fashionista. This might be fair.


So if you are feeling rich today then dare buy one of the above products. My favorite in the list is the flip cover.

Intent of the post is to show disparity in the pricing on the most visited E-Commerce site in India, and need for a AI based Anti-Spam engine on such e-commerce sites to keep a check spam pricing. Some people might actually end up ordering these by mistake. I hope not.
Jeff Bezos, are you listening!

Update 1: Amazon have responded to the query raised by this post. They have accepted that they do need a mechanism to detect price spam. Yoohoo! I love there Customer Service! Snippet of the response is below:

Why India Hasn’t Built Its GPT Moment (Yet)

India has the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, a thriving developer base, and a mobile-first population larger than the US and Europe combined. Yet, no GPT-4. No DeepMind. No Amazon-style platform. Why? Innovation Isn’t Accidental—It’s Engineered The Zerodha Daily Brief recently asked why India hasn’t built a global product company like Apple. The key argument: India isn’t building for the world. It’s solving for local constraints, scale, and affordability—but global scale requires deep IP, design, and tech differentiation. It’s not just about software, it’s about systems thinking. More importantly, it answers the question: Why do countries innovate? The answer isn’t just genius or ambition—it’s incentives and ecosystems. The U.S. Defense Department, for example, accounted for nearly 70% of federal R&D funding during the Cold War. China has pumped billions into semiconductors and AI with long-term national alignment. These aren’t short-term bets—they are strategic, delibe...

The Death of the Stubborn PM

Product Management is undergoing a seismic shift, much like programming did when compilers replaced assembly language or when Agile dismantled waterfall dogma. Stubborn PMs who cling to outdated rituals—like treating PRDs as sacred texts—will fade into irrelevance. The future belongs to those who embrace AI as a collaborator, not a threat.   AI Will Disrupt the Tactics, Not the Thinking   Historically, tools abstracted manual work: compilers automated code translation, A/B testing replaced gut-driven debates. Similarly, AI will automate tactical PM tasks—data aggregation, routine prioritization, even drafting specs. But this is liberating, not limiting.   The stubborn PM obsesses over *how* to write a PRD; the adaptive PM focuses on *why* a product should exist. AI can’t replicate judgment calls that demand intuition: interpreting unmet customer needs, balancing ethics with growth, or navigating ambiguity when data is sparse. As AI handles execution, the PM...

From Stubborn to Smart: How I Learned to Use AI as a PM

Listen to the article in podcast format on PM-AI Diaries channel on Spotify! Ever since I published "The Death of the Stubborn PM" back in February, my inbox has been buzzing with one big question: “Okay, I get that AI is the future for product managers—but how do I actually use it?” It’s a fair ask. In that piece, I argued that PMs who resist AI are doomed to fade away, like dinosaurs refusing to evolve. As I wrote, “The stubborn PM who clings to old ways will die out, replaced by those who harness AI’s power while leaning into what makes us human.” Now, people want the playbook. So, let’s walk through it with a story—my own journey of figuring this out, backed by some sharp insights from MIT Sloan’s "When Humans and AI Work Best Together—and When Each Is Better Alone" . The Wake-Up Call Picture me a few months back: a PM buried in work, juggling a dozen tasks, and feeling like there weren’t enough hours in the day. Writing user stories, sketching ideas, track...
