Flipkart’s new move will make it the dream destination for all sellers

Flipkart is mulling to start seller-support facilities in 20 more cities by the end of this year. The service is presently in 10 cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Surat and Jaipur.

The company said that the facilities, which be called 'Flipkart One Stop', will help sellers with various services like registration, training, cataloguing and packaging.

Flipkart has roped in agencies like Browntape, Sellerworx, 99yrs.com, BluBox and Chikiweb to onboard sellers in various cities.

Ankit Nagori, chief business officer at Flipkart, said the initiative will help them streamline and simplify the processes to get their businesses up and running online within a short span of time.

“We plan to get 50-60 such agencies onboard by the end of this year,” added Nagori.

While Flipkart is working to add one-lakh sellers by the year end, Snapdeal has said that it wants to get to 10-lakh merchants in three years from 1.5-lakh sellers currently and Shopclues wants to increase its merchant base from 1.25 lakh to 5 lakh by the end of 2015.
