Manipal: Computer Science Engineering students The second year of the Manipal Technology Institute (MIT), is on a mission to spread awareness about reviews and false ratings, and methods that will help people get their money value when they make online purchases, especially during a pandemic.
As a first step, Aryan Khemka has written and published an e-book titled ‘Shop Like A Pro’.
Aryan said, “Everything began during last year’s lock.
I am looking for a way to use time productively and learn new skills.
I decided on digital products that would also help in sharing information to a big audience.
I released the e-book last week,” He said.
Aryan observed that during the locking phase, many new people began to use the online platform to shop for their daily needs.
This is also a phase where people experience hard financial conditions.
“When you are excessive for products or services online, it increases the financial burden on the whole family.
Knowing the right way to save, and avoid extra expenditure, it will be very helpful, especially for a student,” he said.
“One of the important factors that helped us decide what to buy is a review and rank.
However, some sellers have adopted various ways to increase their rankings.
They sometimes offer free or gifts with exchange for good rankings, or even buy paid reviews In large quantities of third-party services.
I share information about online extensions that will help find false reviews, besides also sharing information about checking discounts exclusively for students, and the best price tracking tool, “said Aryan.
Next, the video is also in the manufacture that will be uploaded on YouTube, immediately.
At the college level, he shared an informative post on the Instagram student page, and various online platforms that have nearly 20,000 followers.
“I aim to spread awareness about a broader topic such as Cybersecurity, fake news, and cybercrimes, so people can use the internet in the right way, in a safe environment,” said Aryan.
