Unlocking India’s E-Commerce Opportunities

The UK India Business Council (UKIBC) requests your presence in this exciting webinar, highlighting India's e-commerce opportunities for UK companies, with our industry experts from Amazon India, Scale Global and UKIBC.

The India e-commerce market is valued at USD 120 billion. Growing at 51%, it offers UK businesses an opportunity to create alternative revenue streams in a ‘digital-first’ strategy, or to complement their existing India business by exposing their brand to more than 90% of Indian post codes and drive sales across multiple channels.

Propelled by rising smartphone penetration (760m by 2021), the launch of 4G network, and increasing consumer wealth, the market is expected to grow to USD 200 billion by 2026. Increased uptake in online purchases during lockdown may have skewed consumer behaviour in favour of e-commerce which may further accelerate the market growth in the months to come.

In this session, we are delighted to be joined by Sidram Kaudaki, Senior Business Development Manager, International Brand Partnership, Amazon India; Kiran Kumar Kolisetty, Co-Founder and CTO, Scale Global; and Imtiaz Ibrahim, CEO and Co-Founder, Scale Global, who will:

• Highlight the scale of opportunity available
• Provide market and consumer insights
• Share advice on how to gain traction with Indian consumers
• Underline the support available from DIT and UKIBC that you can leverage in gaining quicker access to India e-commerce

Opportunity awaits you! To secure your place on this webinar, please register using the link below!
