India’s e-commerce leader, Flipkart, says it has an ambitious plan to expand its network by increasing the number of sellers by more than 200 per cent by the end of this year.
"Right now 30,000 sellers are connected to our network. We are trying to increase this to one lakh by December," Flipkart Senior Vice-President (Marketplace) Ankit Nagori said in Indore at the weekend, according to media reports.
Madhya Pradesh is an important market and is among the 10 top states that fuel Flipkart’s business. Flipkart currently has 1,000 sellers in Madhya Pradesh and it wants to take this number to 2,500 by December, Nagori said.
Flipkart is trying to bring onboard the sellers of MP's famous sarees of Maheshwar and Bagh print clothing.
