CAIT to launch its e-commerce platform for small traders next week to take on Amazon, Flipkart

NEW DELHI: Upping the ante in the fight against e-commerce companies, that are vying for the strongest kirana network for its next phase of growth, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) along with the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is gearing up for a nationwide rollout of its e-commerce marketplace for neighbourhood stores early next week.

“We’re in the final stages of synergising the efforts of various companies including logistic partners and start-ups working in the supply chain to help the local grocery stores take orders online and ensure last-mile contactless delivery through the e-commerce marketplace. We hope to launch the portal on coming Monday or Tuesday,” CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal told this publication.
