What’s inside this episode
The Dyson CameraJet costs $499 in the US (roughly ₹53,000). It has a built-in camera, a water jet and an app, backed by six years of work, 661 engineers and 38 patents. But is it really meant for the masses?
Professor Thakur explains:
✅ Anchor pricing: how a ₹53,000 product makes a ₹6,000 alternative feel like a smart, sensible buy
✅ EMI psychology: how three payments of ₹17,700, or “just ₹73 a day” (a cutting chai and samosa), removes the pain of paying
✅ The real business model: why the profit is in the proprietary toothpaste and mouthrinse refills, not the toothbrush
✅ The “And” Rule of Marketing: a simple framework you can use in any pricing or positioning decision
