Amazon's KiranaNow: The Indian Online Grocery Market
內容大綱
In 2015, the Indian retail industry contributed around 10 per cent to India’s gross domestic product, and online retail had a growth rate of 85 per cent. In the same year, food and grocery made up 60 per cent of the Indian retail market, and the online grocery segment was estimated at US$600,000. To capture its share of this market, Amazon India launched its own online grocery arm, KiranaNow, with a marketplace model. As it set out to carve out a space for itself in the online grocery market, KiranaNow faced challenges related to merchandising, managing human resources, customer perceptions, and technology hurdles, including the question of whether its chosen business model was sustainable. The company needed to overcome these challenges to find success in the Indian online grocery market.
