· September , 2022: Launched in Sept 2017, Amazon Business completes five years of empowering MSMEs in India this year and helping them run their businesses more efficiently. To commemorate five years of adding value to small and medium businesses, Amazon Business also announced the launch of Small Business Week, a week-long celebration for its small business customers across India from September 12th to 18th, 2022. The ‘Small Business Week’ shopping event will feature great offers across IT products, Office supplies & furnishing, Maintenance, Repair and Operations products, safety equipment, amongst others.
Commenting on the announcement, Suchit
Subhas, Director, Amazon Business said, “We are humbled
by the overwhelming support we have received from our customers and MSME
selling partners in the past five years of our operations in India. We will
continue to innovate on behalf of business customers and introduce solutions to
empower them and run their businesses more effectively. We look forward to
celebrating our fifth anniversary in India with our customers and seller
partners through specially curated deals and offers across wide selection of
products from top brands across categories”
Five years ago, Amazon Business started off in
India with the mission to transform the way businesses buy and sell. Amazon
Business has since worked to empower MSME customers by helping them bring
efficiencies and drive down costs in their business purchases. Over these
years, Amazon Business has consolidated 15cr+ products across 6.5 lakh sellers
in an attempt to create a one-stop destination for all business buying needs. Amazon
Business’ wide selection, transparent and competitive pricing, pan-India
delivery and safe buying guarantee allow MSMEs to save time and costs while
buying.
In the last five
years in India, Amazon Business has consistently worked to build capabilities
to make business buying more efficient. This includes multi-user accounts to
allow businesses to replicate their procurement hierarchy on Amazon, allowing
for creation of custom Approval workflows to prevent rogue spends and enabling
business payment methods such as NEFT/RTGS. Amazon Business provides business
customers the ability to request for quotes to allow them to save on bulk
purchases. It also provides customers with a Spend Analyzer tool to derive
insights on potential purchasing efficiencies. To further enable
convenient access to
business features on-the-go, Amazon
Business launched the Android and iOS optimized mobile app earlier this year
that is specifically designed to improve the procurement experience of business
customers.
In addition to solving for the procurement needs
of MSMEs, Amazon Business has also created an incremental revenue opportunity
for small sellers by giving them access to business customers all over India. This
customer centricity has enabled Amazon Business to grow exponentially over the
5 years. For Amazon, Amazon Business in India is the second largest B2B
marketplace after the US. It has seen a 35% increase in monthly
active users, resulting in 87% increase in orders and 111% increase in sales. Tier
2 and tier 3 cities also played a significant role to this growth, with 30%
buying customers and 25% orders coming from smaller cities.
In a bid to continue
in its journey to empower the Indian businesses and help them save big, Amazon
Business is hosting a special ‘Small Business Week’ for its business customers.
