Snapdeal ties up with India Post

Online marketplace Snapdeal has partnered India Post to jointly work on bringing thousands of weavers and artisans from Varanasi through its website.

Snapdeal has launched a pilot with India Post to set up facilitation desks at Varanasi post offices to enable local weavers to sell on its platform. “This is an endeavour by Snapdeal and India Post to empower local artisans, small and medium entrepreneurs to sustain their livelihood by providing a platform to popularise their indigenous products,” Snapdeal CEO and co-founder Kunal Bahl told PTI. Through this association, weavers will be able to access the national audience by listing their products on Snapdeal at negligible cost, he added. — PTI
