“Our conversations with hundreds of small and medium businesses reveal that there is a high level of interest among them to get online and start selling. But they are unable to overcome perception barriers of the process being time-consuming, tedious and complex. As a result many interested sellers tend to put off onboarding tasks,” said Gopal Pillai, General Manager, Seller Services, Amazon India.
“Amazon Tatkal offers registration, imaging and cataloguing services as well as basic seller training, all in about 60 minutes. The programme is an extension of the Amazon ‘Chaikart’ initiative that focuses on spreading awareness among small and medium enterprises on the benefits of selling online,” Pillai adds further.
