Amazon Shutting Down Its Wholesale Distribution Business In India

Latest Update

The retailer Amazon is closing its wholesale distribution business in India, the latest in a series of withdrawals in the crucial international market where it has invested over $7 billion over the past ten years.

The American e-commerce behemoth announced on Monday that it is ending Amazon Distribution, a wholesale website that served local small neighborhood stores in Bengaluru, Mysore, and Hubli.

“We don’t take these decisions lightly. We are discontinuing this program in a phased manner to take care of current customers and partners,”  a company representative stated in a statement.

The goal of Amazon Distribution was to make it easier for kiranas, or Indian neighborhood shops, pharmacies, and department stores to obtain merchandise from the online retailer. The corporation did not specify a definite end date for the service.

The company says on its website: “We offer a wide range of products at competitive prices and the convenience of next day delivery at your door-step. As a member, you can purchase thousands of items for resale at any time of the day at competitive prices and in bulk quantities, pay via the various payment options available, get GST bill for your order, and convenient and reliable door-step deliveries the next day,”
