Walmart-owned Flipkart on Thursday announced the launch of an app ‘Shopsy’ that will allow individuals to become resellers of goods in their network via platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook.

“With the ability to influence their local network and fulfil their aspirations, users of Shopsy will be able to share catalogues of a wide selection of 15 crore products offered by Flipkart sellers, ranging across fashion, beauty, mobile phones, electronics and home, among others with potential customers via popular social media and messaging apps,” a statement said.
