NEW DELHI, September 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
The Dorm Shop, a content driven e-commerce platform which helps new hostel students pre-purchase their essentials and have it delivered to them on the moving day, has tied up with IIMT, Greater Noida to open its first on-campus store. This store will help students buy their essentials while also giving them the opportunity of ordering several other products from bed linens to plastics and kitchenware with the online purchase option. Thus, eliminating the need for shopping for these cumbersome products from outside the campus or carrying the same from home.

Commenting on the tie-up, the Managing Director of IIMT, Mr. Mayank Agarwal said, "At IIMT, we want to provide the best facilities to our students. Our infrastructure is world class and we want our students to be comfortable. We are revamping our canteen and thought The Dorm Shop's concept would seamlessly fit into our vision for an on-campus store. At IIMT Group of Colleges, we are always looking to nurture talent and innovative ideas and thus we wish this start-up luck and hope for a fruitful and mutually beneficial tie up."
The founder of www.thedormshop.in, Mr. Jay Bagri was pleased with the association and commented, "India is evolving and so are the higher education institutes. Colleges like IIMT have huge campuses and brilliant infrastructure; they look to provide the best of services to their students. I personally see the days of having a small shop selling tit-bits on-campus as a thing of the past, our stores stock quality products and even though our physical store is about 150 sq. feet we will be able to give the students an option of buying thousands of products thanks to our e-commerce platform. Standardization of campus stores is imperative; having several small vendors selling products at will affects the quality and the selection of products. We have tied up with over 25 colleges across India but this is a first of its kind integration and we are thankful to IIMT for this association."
