Ahead of the 10th edition of The Big Billion Days (TBBD), its annual flagship event, Flipkart has achieved a significant milestone of over 1.4 Million sellers on its platform. With a growth of over 27% of sellers on the platform since last year, the milestone signifies the growing ecosystem of sellers and MSMEs in the country. This is a testament to the faith that Indian MSMEs, small businesses, and enterprises today have in Flipkart, including Shopsy, as trusted partners to leverage the power of e-commerce to digitize and modernize their business, expand market reach and improve revenue.
The new sellers that have joined the platforms hail from across the length and breadth of India, including metro cities Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities such as Jammu, Kanyakumari, Kollam, Ludhiana, Mangalore, Thrissur and Vellore. Towards its efforts to empower sellers to leverage the latest consumer-facing technology, Flipkart has introduced industry-first tech interventions that add value and opportunities for them on its platform. One such service is AI Powered Cataloging, an industry-first AI-led automated solution that converts any product image to Flipkart-standard quality on the go, making it easier for sellers. Using machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) powered software, sellers no longer need to invest in expensive model-shooting for their product listings and can avail of the AI-powered services Flipkart offers as per their requirements.
