Forex Rates Research - 10 Indian Cities

We are looking for a detail-oriented data researcher to aggregate foreign exchange (forex) pricing data for various vendors across 10 specific cities in India. ** IMPORTANT STRICT REQUIREMENT - PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING ** To complete this task, you will need to proceed to the very last page of the checkout process on multiple forex websites. This requires entering a valid Indian mobile number (to receive OTPs) and a **valid PAN card number**. If you are not comfortable using your personal credentials on these websites to reach the final page, **do not apply for this job**. We need 100% credible, real-world data. ### The Objective You will need to find the exact cost breakdown for buying two specific currencies from approximately **10 different vendors per city**. * **Currencies & Amounts:** 500 USD and 10,000 THB * **Target Cities (10):** Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Ludhiana ### Step-by-Step Instructions For each vendor in each city, you must do the following: 1. **Initiate an Order:** Go to the vendor's website and initiate a buy order for either 500 USD or 10,000 THB for the target city. 2. **Fill in Details:** Enter your phone number/OTP and PAN details to proceed. For the delivery address and PIN code, use an arbitrary address from Google Maps located within that specific target city. 3. **Reach the Final Page:** Proceed through the workflow until you hit the final payment/checkout page. **(DO NOT actually make a payment).** 4. **Record the Data:** Note down the exact, verbatim breakdown of all charges applied by the vendor. **GST must be recorded in its own separate column.** 5. **Capture Evidence:** Take a clear screenshot of the final page showing the full breakdown. This will serve as proof of your work. ### Required Deliverables & Format You will submit the data in an Excel/Google Sheets file, accompanied by a folder of your screenshots (or links to the screenshots). **Example of Expected Data Format:** | Vendor Name | Currency | Amount | City | Exchange Rate | Service/Platform Fee | Delivery Charge | GST (Separate) | Total Payable | Evidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | *Example Forex* | THB | 10000 | Mumbai | ₹ 2.50 | ₹ 100.00 | ₹ 150.00 | ₹ 45.00 | ₹ 25,295.00 | `[login to view URL]` | | *Example Forex* | USD | 500 | Mumbai | ₹ 83.10 | ₹ 0.00 | ₹ 100.00 | ₹ 74.79 | ₹ 41,724.79 | `[login to view URL]` | ### How to Find Vendors per City via Google Search To ensure you are getting localized vendors for each city, use the following search strategies: * **Search Queries:** Use specific keywords like *"Buy USD online in [City Name]"*, *"Forex home delivery [City Name]"*, or *"Currency exchange near me in [City Name]"*. * **Google Region/Location Settings:** 1. Do a Google Search. 2. Click on the "Tools" button or "Settings" (gear icon) below the search bar. 3. Update your region or use "Advanced Search" to specify the location. * **Google Maps:** Search for "Forex vendors in [City Name]" on Google Maps and click on the "Website" links for local businesses that offer online booking. ### Milestones & Evaluation * **Speed is critical:** We want this information as soon as possible. * **Payment Structure:** Milestones will be created and released **per city**. Once you submit the verified data and screenshots for a city (USD & THB across ~10 vendors), that milestone will be approved. If you understand the requirements and are ready to start immediately, please apply with the word "CREDIBLE" at the start of your proposal so I know you have read the PAN/Phone number requirement.
