We started Mersya because most product reviews online are either paid placements or written after a single unboxing. Our team buys products at retail, uses them in real Indian households, and documents what actually breaks, what holds up, and what is simply not worth the price. No affiliate pressure, no sponsored verdicts, just a clear record of everyday use.
Mersya is a small editorial team of testers and writers who buy products with their own money, use them for weeks, and report what actually happens. No sponsored verdicts, no borrowed opinions.
Leads the testing calendar and decides which products deserve a full review cycle. He has spent eleven years in consumer journalism and still insists on cooking every rice cooker test himself.
Testing leadRuns the durability checks for kitchen tools and household appliances. She tracks how handles loosen, coatings peel, and buttons stick after three months of daily use, then writes the maintenance notes.
Personal care reviewerFocuses on skincare and grooming products, with a strict patch-test protocol before anything touches her face. She documents texture, fragrance strength, and whether a product survives the Indian summer.
Comparison analystBuilds the side-by-side guides that compare budget and premium versions of the same product. She weighs features against real usage patterns and flags the upgrades that are not worth the extra money.
From first test kitchen to a full review library
2021 — We started by documenting our own kitchen purchases: a pressure cooker, a mixer grinder, and a water filter. No ratings, just notes on what worked and what broke within a year.
2022 — The first comparison guide went live, covering five non-stick pans under ₹3,000. It took three months of daily cooking to write, and readers asked for more side-by-side tests.
2023 — We formalised our scoring system: durability, ease of use, value for money, and maintenance. Every product now passes a minimum of four weeks of real household use before a review is published.
2024 — Reader submissions became a formal part of the platform. We now publish verified user experiences alongside our own tests, with a clear label for each source.
2025 — The archive crossed 200 reviewed products across personal care, kitchen tools, and household essentials. We also introduced maintenance guides for every item we cover.
These partners supply review units and share sales data, but they never influence our ratings or verdicts.
