“The carpet mills especially had a lot of excess inventory that was not moving. And so I was buying a lot of that at discounted prices. Saving my customers some money. But still it increased my profit margins by a lot”

“We could do discounts and generate cash from our inventory… we pivoted to leverage the assets we had, which were inventory to generate cash.”

“We have passed on that cost in a very marginal manner to the customer because we understand that the mass of the buying happens in tier 2 and below.”
