E-commerce gets industry body; biggies missing

Chennai: Some of the smaller e-commerce players have joined hands to form an industry body for the sector. The association that seeks level-playing field and healthy competition in the sector, does not have the biggies as members yet.

The founding members of TECI include marketplaces Snapdeal, ShopClues, UrbanClap, Shop101, Flyrobe and Fynd along with social commerce platform Shop101. Digital-first fashion brands like Bewakoof, Breya and Rustorange and other online brands like Mamaearth, Superbottoms and Azah, which focus on specific segments like baby care products and women’s hygiene products are also part of the group that has collaborated to launch TECI.
