How we choose.

The Occasion Manager curation process, explained.

The curation pipeline

  1. The Candidate Pool

    We start by scanning products from Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, IGP, and FNP. But we don't just list them.

  2. The Human Filter

    Our curators review the shortlist. They look for products that solve a genuine problem or create genuine delight.

  3. The BuyScore

    Every product earns a 0–100 BuyScore on six transparent factors.

  4. The List Context

    Every list has a context key — birthday:mother, occasion:diwali:colleague. The same product might rank #1 for one context and #7 for another.

  5. The Refresh Cycle

    Lists are re-ranked when new products launch or prices drop. Every list shows when it was last updated.

Questions

Do you take commissions?

Yes, from affiliate links: buy buttons may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. But commission never influences BuyScore or rank.

Who writes the curator notes?

Our team. Every note and one-line summary is written by a person.

How often are lists updated?

Every list shows its last refresh date.

Can I suggest a product?

Yes — send it to us through the contact page.

Is this AI-powered?

No. Every list is manually curated.

What if a product is out of stock?

We re-rank within 48 hours.

Pages may also show advertising, clearly separated from editorial content. Questions or corrections? Write to us.
