Over 1 Lakh Kirana Stores to Take Part in Amazon’s ‘Great Indian Festival’ Sales

Manish Tiwary, VP, Amazon India, said: “This festive season we are focused on helping our sellers and other MSME partners grow their business and bounce back from the recent challenges.”

He noted that in the last few months, the company has seen businesses of all sizes increasingly adopt technology into their business.

The integration of Amazon’s programmes with over 1 lakh ubiquitous neighbourhood stores, for selling online, to help customers buy online, to make deliveries and enable contactless payments, is a testament of the adaptability and inventiveness of Indian entrepreneurs, Tiwary added.

“We hope that this ‘Great Indian Festival’ will bring them growth and success as they get ready to serve millions of customers across India,” he said.

‘Local Shops on Amazon’ is a programme that was launched in April this year to help bring offline retailers, kiranas and local shops online.
