Bengal climbs Flipkart supplier list as kidswear sellers embrace online commerce

Low cost of transaction, ease of doing business and opportunity to reach a wider customer base are driving sellers from India’s key manufacturing clusters to explore online platforms, e-tailer Flipkart said.

The Walmart-backed company has been onboarding merchants and sellers from clusters across states, including Bengal, where manufacturers of kids’ fashion, leather items (wallets and belts) and weavers of tant sari are particularly accepting the platform.
