Every August, two major events converge on the Indian retail calendar: Raksha Bandhan and Independence Day. In 2025, Raksha Bandhan fell on August 9 (Saturday), just days before Independence Day (August 15)—creating a 10-day high-volume sales window across Q-commerce, e-commerce, and D2C platforms.
This period saw price drops, flash deals, bundled offers, and dynamic repricing—all competing for consumer attention.
To decode what really happened behind the scenes, Actowiz Metrics deployed advanced scraping tools and analytics models to scrape Independence Day offers & product prices, and conduct a deep Independence Day & Raksha Bandhan Sale Price Analysis.
