Magadha (in present-day Bihar) became the most powerful Mahajanapada between the sixth and the fourth centuries BCE. The reasons for this can be seen in wide range: Magadha was a region where agriculture was very much productive. Iron mines (in present-day Jharkhand) were accessible and provided resources for tools and weapons. Elephants, that are an integral component of the army, were found in forests in the area. Ganga and its tributaries provided a means of cheap and convenient communication. However, there are other reasons specified by scholars like ruthlessly ambitious kings of that time. Bimbisara, Ajatasattu and Mahapadma Nanda are the most famous ones, which implemented the policies of their ministers. Rajagaha (which is the Prakrit name for present day Rajgir in Bihar) was the capital of Magadha at that time. The old name means “house of the king”. Rajagaha was a fortified settlement, located amongst hills. In the fourth century BCE, the capital was shifted to Pataliputra, present-day Patna, commanding routes of communication along the Ganga.

My ordor.in is an application created to assist small businesses with inventory management, outstanding/receivable management, billing, marketing, and e-commerce functions. It offers both a web app (SaaS-based) and an Android application to help businesses manage their stocks, finances, parties, promotions, and employees.
ReplyDeleteMy ordor.in has dedicated modules for creating and managing inventories, managing stores, handling payments, providing notifications, sending quotations, and generating sales reports. Additionally, it features several ‘how-to’ videos to help businesses navigate its user-interface and get work done easily. It is also available in several local Indian languages besides English, allowing regional users from several parts of the country to use them easily.
Both the My ordor.in web app and Android app are free, and users only have to pay if they are using the advanced staff-management feature. Additionally, upgrading to its premium version lets you use the application without its logo being visible.
The premium version of My ordor.in is priced affordably at INR 799 annually as it allows you the opportunity for personal branding. After all, who wouldn’t want to have their personal ‘Amazon’ or ‘Flipkart’ where they can sell their products directly to consumers. The premium version allows you to assign permissions to your employees or partners based on their roles. Thus based on their designation, employees can digitally manage their responsibilities and get the necessary oversight.
However, even with a free membership, My ordor.in allows you to swiftly create your online store, customize it, and populate it with your products. You can customize pricing, add product categories, manage stocks, and generate invoices from anywhere through the application. Moreover, you gain complete real-time visibility of your stocks, payments, campaigns, and parties through its dashboard.
Don’t have a digital team for online branding? My ordor.in is there to take care of it with its inbuilt greetings and business cards. Thus, if you offer a discount or offer at any of your stores, you can customize the branding greetings given in the application and share them with your contacts easily. Additionally, you can create your digital store in seconds and share your online catalogues with customers on Whatsapp. You can add your brand’s name and logo there for personal branding after receiving a unique online store link that takes customers directly to your virtual shop.
