Minar is a smart, all-in-one shopping platform that will help you discover, compare and buy products across websites in one place - and with a lot more ease.

We created Minar because internet shopping has been the same for many years, and the number of sites and vendors and apps just keep on increasing, meaning more products, more options, more deals, more tabs, more apps, more wishlists, carts, orders and subscriptions. We want to do away with it because we believe there is space and the need to unify it all, and create a beautiful new internet experience while we’re at it.

Minar eliminates the need to visit multiple websites, open countless tabs, or juggle between different shopping apps.

Our unified shopping platform brings together products from Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and thousands of other vendors in one seamless interface, making product search and price comparison effortless.

  3. Real-time Product Aggregation: See live results as they come in, or wait for our AI-organized recommendations

  8. Wishlist from any store: Wishlist from search results, or go to the Wishlist tab and add any product you saw online to your Minar Wishlist for safekeeping

💡 Smart Shopping Tip: Minar works best when you're specific about what you're looking for. Instead of searching for "phone", try "iPhone 15 Pro Max" or "Android phone under 30000" for better product discovery.
