A child accidentally placed an online order worth 1 crore for Robotics kits

In a recent development, an ed-tech company based out of Mumbai for children which deal in modular robotics as an instrument of learning for STEM education received an order amounting to a jaw-dropping figure of more than 1 crore. The exact amount was INR 11,950,000 which in words was ‘one crore nineteen lakhs & fifty thousand’.

Often in this busy world where people are more kin in placing an online order rather investing time in going around shops, we often forget the factors of risk that we take unknowingly. But if you are dealing with a trustable & community-based enterprise who not only believe in delivering the best products but also take all-around care of their community, the risk factors go down variably.

Recently Witblox, an ed-tech enterprise received an order of ten thousand DIY Robotic Cycle Kit which cost INR 1195 each, the total payable amount went above 1 cr. Since the mode of payment was COD, i.e, cash on delivery the team connected with their client before making the order an official one, the team found that it was a mistake by a child, who wanted to place only an order of 1 unit but mistakenly placed an order of 10 thousand units.

This is a classic example of online shopping mistakes. Imagine few zeros less and the entire shipment would have been waiting at their doorstep. Making mistakes is an inevitable part of the human experience. We all make mistakes. It’s how we learn and grow from those mistakes. But enterprises such as Witblox is making sure that our mistakes don’t cost us much.
