Snapdeal Brings India’s Bazaars Online: Punjab-Based Sellers are the Highest Sellers of Sports Goods on Snapdeal

By Tricitynews

Chandigarh 27^th Mar, 2019:- Snapdeal, India’s leading value-focused e-commerce platform, is making rapid progress in its mission of taking India’s bazaars online.

India's consumption is US$800 Billion, which is growing consistently and will reach US$2 Trillion by 2025. Online commerce is nearly 2% of India’s retail and will reach 10% by 2025. Thus, the online market in India will be worth US$ 200 Billion in the next 7 years.

In India, 10% of the retail is in the organized sector and 90% of India’s retail is serviced by the unorganized sector – the various bazaars that are common in each and every state and city in the country. In the past, unorganized retail was adversely impacted by organized retail and had no recourse. Snapdeal built a marketplace to provide these sellers with an opportunity to move online in order to grow. 

Punjab-based sellers are the highest sellers of sports goods on Snapdeal and serve buyers all over the country. Some of the popular sports goods sold online by Punjab-based sellers are punching bags, badminton rackets, sports shoes, hand wraps, and home gym sets. They also sell huge quantities of safety rods and whey protein. Majority of the sports goods come from sellers based in and Jalandhar.

Among the other categories, Punjab-based sellers also sold crepe tops, phulkari dupattas, and embroidered juttis. Anarkali suits from sellers of Zirakpur and watches from Ludhiana are popular all across India.

Snapdeal has more than 500,000 registered sellers from across India. 

On the buyer's side, the e-commerce market in India is growing not only in size but also in diversity. In 2018, India’s e-commerce heralded the rapid emergence of buyers from India’s Tier 2 & 3 cities. This growth of e-commerce into India’s non-metro cities will accelerate in 2019 and over the next few years for obvious reasons.

On the other hand, Punjab has a very good road network through national highways (NH) which helped us find partners to service 676 pin codes in Punjab. Today, 62% of the population in Punjab lives in rural areas. The bazaars in these small towns and villages have limited products and lack options at all price points. Snapdeal provides access to items from all leading bazaars of India. 

Punjab's per capita income is significantly higher than the national average, making it a great market for us. (Punjab: INR 140872; national: INR 112835)

Value-priced budget phones like iKal K28, GOME C7, Vivo Y91i, electronic accessories especially speakers and headphones, seller branded fashion and everyday home utility items are popular with Snapdeal’s buyers in Punjab. Some of the favorite products of buyers in Punjab are cosmetics, kitchen tools and appliances, headphones, gaming accessories, hard disk, speakers and more. The highest value item sold in Punjab is HP Laptops while some of the low-value items include textbooks, phone holders, and rose, marigold, tomato and cucumber seeds.

Snapdeal is a pure marketplace with options at multiple price points, authentic buyer reviews and ratings from buyers of the product, and an easy to navigate app and website. It has 60 million+ products across 800 categories.

कनेक्ट अगले दो महीनों में पंजाब और चंडीगढ़ में बिछाएगा 2 लाख ऑप्टिकल फाइबर लिंक

By Tricitynews

Chandigarh 27^th Mar, 2019:- भविष्य के लिए तैयार तकनीक, फाइबर टू द होम (एफ.टी.टी.एच.), ऑप्टिकल फाइबर के स्थान पर मौजूदा तांबे के तारों और समाक्षीय केबलों की जगह ग्राहकों को उच्च बैंडविड्थ का स्पष्ट लाभ देता है, जो इंटरनेट, वीडियो और आवाज सेवाओं के लिए उच्च गति को सक्षम बनाता है।

कनेक्ट ने पहले ही राज्य में घरों और व्यवसायों के लिए ऑप्टिकल फाइबर कनेक्टिविटी प्रदान की है, अब अगले चरण में 2 लाख घरों के उधमियों को आकर्षक फ्रैंचाइज़ी मॉडल शेयर की पेशकश की जा रही है।

कनेक्ट पंजाब भर में फाइबर ऑप्टिक्स बिछाने के साथ-साथ अगले दो महीनों में चंडीगढ़ में भी बिछा देगा, एक निवेश मॉडल के साथ जो कि भविष्य का प्रमाण है और एक आकर्षक रिटर्न मॉडल के साथ है।

भारत में केवल 0.5% ऑप्टिकल फाइबर है, जबकि सिंगापुर में 95%, दक्षिण कोरिया में 93% और हांगकांग में 71% है।

जब घरों में मनोरंजन को प्राइम वीडियो, नेटफ्लिक्स और यूट्यूब जैसे विभिन्न डिजिटल चैनलों के माध्यम से पेश किया जा रहा है, तो डीएसएल और केबल मोडम बिना बफरिंग के इन्हे चलाने में असमर्थ हैं।

सामान्य डेटा मोडम प्रति सेकंड पांच मेगाबाइट की गति से डाउनलोड होता है (और अपलोड भी धीमा होता है) और वर्तमान फाइबर ऑप्टिक तकनीक प्रति सेकंड 100 मेगाबिट तक दो-तरफा संचरण गति प्रदान कर सकती है।
