Hi this is my second attempt at posting this. Not sure if this is a catch or not but I found Singapore Airlines offering their First class suite on their A380 from Mumbai to Melbourne (stopover in Singapore) on the 24 Jan 2019 for $2840.
Please ignore if this isn't classified as a deal.

P-s - I am very new here.

What currency? American Dollars, Aussie?

Also available to SYD at about the same price throughout Jan/Feb. Don't think this is a promotional price.

Honestly, that's not really a very good deal -- at least not in the context of this group. If it was $2840 for a return trip, that'd be one thing, but -- not to speak for the entire group, but to give you a broad idea -- generally we see deals (for roundtrip tickets, not one-way) in the $2,000-$2,500 range between Europe or the US & Canada and various parts of East and Southeast Asia, along with r/t tickets in business class under $2K between the US and either Europe or Asia. On some routes (e.g. a few between continental Europe and Bangkok) return ticket prices can be as low as $1,500. While Singapore is obviously an incredible airline, they're also a lot stingier when it comes to premium-cabin fare sales than, say, Qatar or most larger European carriers.

Also, just FYI, "O/W" on here is typically used as shorthand for the Oneworld alliance. (More often it's just cited as "OW".) Most airlines, including Singapore, are usually referred to by their airline code (their two-character IATA handle); Singapore's is SQ. Finally, international first and business class are usually referenced by the fare buckets they fall under, so "F" means first and "J" means business. F and J are usually the fare buckets for full-price tickets in those cabins, but they're used here as a catchall of sorts. (Also, economy is typically called "Y" and premium economy is just "PE".)

I would guess that OW means oneworld, but actually using o/w to refer to "one-way" is pretty common too. It's usually not ambiguous because posters typically also list the carriers. I would guess that the main reason we don't see "o/w" referring to one-way is simply because there aren't that many good one-way fares, at least as compared to the number of round-trip/open-jaws.

Welcome fellow desi Aditya. Don't worry, this was a good first attempt. Come back with more.
We don't see many postings to & from India around here.

It's quite rare to find a good deal in F flying out or into Australia, hence thought this was a fair deal
