Discounted Devotion? Janmashtami Offer Mapping Across Quick Commerce Platforms
Actowiz Solutions compares Janmashtami offers on puja items & sweets across quick commerce platforms with real-time scraping & price tracking insights.
Discover how Actowiz Solutions scraped Rakhi gift hamper prices from Q-commerce platforms to reveal real festive discount insights with real-time pricing data.
Raksha Bandhan 2025 fell on August 9th, a Saturday, overlapping with India's Independence Day weekend. This rare alignment led to back-to-back festive promotions across Q-commerce and eCommerce platforms.
Platforms like Blinkit, Zepto, Amazon, Flipkart, and Swiggy Instamart flooded users with "exclusive Rakhi gift hampers," offering deep discounts on combos including chocolates, sweets, dry fruits, rakhis, and gift boxes.
But did these discounts actually deliver real savings, or were they smartly repackaged bundles with marginal markdowns?
To answer this, Actowiz Solutions deployed its Automated Rakhi Offer Scraping Tool across top Indian platforms to track prices, SKUs, bundles, and discount behaviors in real time.
Platform | Type | Coverage |
---|---|---|
Blinkit | Q-Commerce | PAN India |
Zepto | Q-Commerce | Tier 1 & 2 |
Amazon India | eCommerce | Nationwide |
Flipkart | eCommerce | Nationwide |
Swiggy Instamart | Q-Commerce | Metro Cities |
Actowiz Solutions implemented the following:
Keywords Used:
Extract Rakhi gift data in real-time, Scrape Rakhi gift SKU details and pricing, scrape Quick commerce Raksha Bandhan deals
Date | Product | MRP (₹) | Sale Price (₹) | Platform |
---|---|---|---|---|
Aug 6 | Dry Fruit Hamper (Cashew, Almonds) | ₹649 | ₹499 | Zepto |
Aug 8 | Same SKU combo | ₹649 | ₹469 | Zepto |
Aug 10 | Same SKU combo | ₹649 | ₹499 | Zepto |
Insight: Mid-week showed the highest discount. Weekend pricing bounced back, indicating dynamic price tuning based on user behavior.
Gift Hamper | Components | MRP (₹) | Sale Price (₹) |
---|---|---|---|
Rakhi Special Choco Delight Box | Ferrero Rocher, Rakhi, Card | ₹899 | ₹699 |
Dry Fruit Delight + Rakhi Combo | Kaju 200g, Raisins 200g, Rakhi | ₹749 | ₹599 |
Insight: Prices dropped ₹150–₹200 in the last 72 hours before Raksha Bandhan.
Platforms updated prices hourly or every 6 hours, especially in the final 3 days. Actowiz Solutions scraped these live fluctuations using its real-time price intelligence engine.
Actowiz Solutions identified artificially inflated MRPs in many hampers—up to 25%—making discounts appear bigger.
Same SKUs were reshuffled with different Rakhis or gift boxes and rebranded as “new combos” to increase perceived value.
Blinkit offered ₹50–₹70 price variance for the same hamper between Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
Actowiz Solutions developed a Scraped Rakhi Gift Insights Dashboard with filters for:
Dashboard Features:
Platform | MRP | Final Price | % Discount | Real Market Value | True Discount |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Zepto | ₹899 | ₹679 | 24% | ₹755 | ~10% |
Amazon | ₹999 | ₹729 | 27% | ₹760 | ~4% |
Insight: Despite higher claimed discount, real savings were minimal after adjusting for inflated MRPs.
Using Actowiz Solutions scraping framework, FMCG brands, D2C gift startups, and Q-commerce partners can:
Insight | Action Point |
---|---|
Discounts are often perceived, not real | Monitor actual item-level savings via scraping |
Hampers have price bounces pre-event | Use hourly tracking to catch real-time drops |
Rebundling is common | Track SKU IDs to detect reuse of same combos |
Location-based price variance | Benchmark pricing city-wise with scraper tools |
Actowiz Solutions used its Rakhi Festive Bundle Tracker, which includes:

Actowiz Solutions plans to scale this model for upcoming Indian festivals:
The Automated Rakhi Offer Scraping Tool will be part of Actowiz Solutions Festive Price Intelligence Suite available as SaaS or API.
Actowiz Solutions helps you cut through inflated MRPs and smart bundling tactics with:
“Actowiz Solutions Rakhi price tracking system gave us a real edge in an ultra-competitive window. We discovered that two of our key competitors were inflating MRP while showing high markdowns. Using real-time SKU-level data from Actowiz Solutions, we corrected our pricing, re-bundled our hampers for actual value, and launched a 48-hour promo that beat the competition. The result? A 31% spike in conversion and 40% faster stock turnover in Tier-1 cities.”

While Rakhi 2025 gift hampers dazzled with packaging and promotions, Actowiz Solutions data reveals that true value often lurks beneath the surface. By scraping platforms like Blinkit, Zepto, and Amazon, we found that many discounts were strategically timed and occasionally exaggerated. Brands and retailers using Actowiz Solutions scraping tools gained a competitive edge through deeper discount transparency.
