About the editor

Bikram Nath

Founder & Editor, AUPicks · Pune, India

I'm Bikram Nath. I founded and edit AUPicks, an independent buying-guide site for Australian shoppers. Every guide is compiled and reviewed by one person — me — from published manufacturer specifications, expert reviews and Amazon.com.au buyer feedback. I'm based in Pune, India, and I research the Australian market remotely; I do not do hands-on testing, and no guide on this site claims otherwise.

What I do instead is refuse to guess. There is no Amazon product API available to me for the Australian store, so I cannot confirm at scale that a product ID matches the exact model named in a guide. Rather than link to a listing I have not checked, most product links here are name searches on Amazon.com.au; a minority point at a specific listing I confirmed by hand. That is a real limitation and I would rather state it than paper over it.

What I focus on

  • Availability on Amazon.com.au — confirmed product listings, not imports or grey-market stock.
  • Suitability for Australian conditions as described in published specifications — climate, UV exposure, 230 V mains.
  • Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees, which apply regardless of a manufacturer's stated warranty.
  • Our methodology — exactly how guides are researched and what the limits of that research are.

I also run PakkaPick, an equivalent independent buying-guide site for Indian shoppers, built on the same research-and-verify approach.

Editorial independence

AUPicks is funded by the Amazon Associates Australia programme — when you buy through a link, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, and the rate is the same regardless of which product you pick. I never accept payment to rank or feature a product. There are no sponsored slots and no paid placements.
