Indian Ecommerce: Amazon Increases Its Kirana Bet, Introduces Digital Storefronts


Global ecommerce giant Amazon has been trying hard to create a mark in India’s unorganised retail market despite continued war-cries from retailers for vying the market share. In the latest attempt, Amazon has launched Smart Stores.

Under this, the company is providing physical stores with software to maintain a digital log of the inventory they have in the shop and supplying them with a QR code.
