Amazon marketplace goes live in India; currently offers books and movies
Posted on 00:04 by Maria Scott
Global e-commerce giant Amazon is bringing its online shopping portal to India – Amazon.in. Initially the service will offer books, movies and TV shows for sale.
“This marketplace will
provide Indian customers with a shopping destination to purchase
products from third-party sellers. India represents Amazon’s tenth
marketplace launch. With the introduction of the Amazon.in
marketplace and launch of two new programmes — ‘Sell on Amazon’ and
‘Fulfilment by Amazon’ — sellers across India now have access to
unlimited and free ‘virtual shelf space’ and a scalable, pay-as-you-go
fulfilment and customer service offerings,” the company said in a
statement.
On Amazon.in, Indians
will be allowed to act as third-party sellers on the marketplace. The
third-party seller will be able to list their products for sale on the
website.
Apart from books,
movies and TV shows, Amazon also has a coming soon section that lists
mobiles, cameras and more. As an initial offer, customers will get free
home delivery and cash on delivery for a limited time. After the offer
expires, orders above Rs. 500 will be home delivered.
In the past, we have seen the launch of Junglee.com, which was Amazon’s debut in the Indian market. You can catch the details of that story here. Amazon also has its Kindle store along with Kindle digital publications in India. The Amazon Android app store too is live in India.
What remains to be seen is how Amazon.in takes on the existing
established online retailers in India that include flipkart, saholic,
ebay.in and more.
