Amazon brings Tatkal seller onboarding service to Mumbai

MUMBAI, INDIA: Amazon.in brings Amazon Tatkal in Mumbai to help small and medium businesses (SMBs) get online and sell on Amazon.in, in less than 60 minutes.

Mumbai-based sellers will now be able to sell local offerings like apparels, electronics, books, etc. through Amazon.in within 60 minutes.

Gopal Pillai, Director & GM, Seller Services, Amazon India said “Our conversations with hundreds of SMBs 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. We worked backwards from seller needs and conceptualized Amazon Tatkal.”

Amazon Tatkal is a specially designed service-on-wheels offering a suite of launch services including registration, imaging and cataloguing services, as well as basic seller training mechanisms. It will enable thousands of interested sellers to start selling on Amazon.in in real time and experience the benefits of launching an online business.

Amazon Tatkal will visit seller-dense pockets across multiple cities in the country and engage with local businesses over the next several months.

Amazon Tatkal Mumbai schedules:

April 26: Linking Road and Elco Market

April 27: Vashi Market and Nerul Market

April 28: Mulund Market and Dadar Market
