ShopClues Celebrates Achievement of 10,000 Merchants
"Hosted a seller summit, first ever by any e-commerce company in India"
Online, June 17, 2013 (Newswire.com) - ShopClues, a managed marketplace, hosted its Seller Summit in New Delhi. Nearly 150 merchants representing over 65 listing categories attended this Seller Summit.
The idea behind the Seller Summit was to celebrate the success merchants have achieved on ShopClues marketplace platform. In January 2012, ShopClues had close to 10 merchants and by end of May 2013, the merchant base reached 10,000 merchants. These 10, 000 merchants operate in nearly 928 listing categories, generating on monthly nearly 300k orders over Rs. 20 crores in gross revenue and M/M growth of 10% to 15%. This was the first time any E-Commerce hosted an event like this for its merchant community.
"Our merchant community has come long way with merchant of all sizes hailing from all States and Union Territories in India (except for Lakshadweep). ShopClues is a marketplace platform that helps small-and-medium merchants to embrace E-Commerce and sell online with their own branded online store at ShopClues, so brining our Merchant community together and celebrate their success made sense for us, "said DeveshRai, VP Business Development.
"ShopClues has built India's largest community of merchants that sell online in a managed marketplace environment. It was great to speak with hundreds of merchants' about the things that are working well for them at ShopClues platform and getting feedback for the areas where we can improve was a great experience", said Sandeep Aggarwal, Founder and CEO of ShopClues.com
