Flipkart Wholesale launches fashion segment in Nagpur

Nagpur: Flipkart Wholesale, which had a presence in 15 cities, has now also expanded its market to Nagpur, making it the 16th centre. This is a B2B platform where retailers can buy goods from wholesalers across the country using Flipkart’s platform
Sandeep Karwa, vice-president of Flipkart Wholesale, said the model has been launched for the fashion segment at present. There are plans to come up with a similar platform for grocery segment in the future.
Karwa said the platform will link local traders through wholesale dealers for a whole gamut of fashion items across the country. Covid is preventing travel by the retailers for purchases of stock. “As the conventional method of dealing through phone by the traders is not so smooth, Flipkart is eyeing the market with the online platform,” he said
The retailers who buy these goods on the online platform can in turn sell the goods through their stores or any other mode.
Karwa said it is expected that around 2,500 retail traders will be using the model in Nagpur. Flipkart plans to eventually take the model to 22 cities across the country.
Flipkart has launched the platform in the fashion model considering the forthcoming festive season. Retailers must be looking forward to be ready with fresh stock for the season for which the online method may be used.
