Now, reach your local stores through Amazon

Amazon India has launched an India-first intiative, ‘Local Shops on Amazon’, which helps customers discover products from local shops in their city, while helping shopkeepers supplement their footfalls beyond their catchment areas with a digital presence.

The launch comes after a six-month pilot with 5,000-plus local shops/ retailers from tier-1 and tier-2 cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Coimbatore, Surat, Lucknow, Indore, Faridabad, Saharanpur, Kota, and Varanasi, among others. The pilot included sellers from different categories including like kitchen, home, furniture, apparel, automotive, beauty, electronics, sports, grocery, lawn & garden, books, toys, jewellery and appliances.
