Pune, Oct 19: Maharashtra is on top of the shopping charts this festive season during the Amazon Great Indian Festival.
K N Srikanth, Director, Amazon India, said in a press conference on Wednesday the Maharashtra region is a very important market for Amazon India, with the city of Pune witnessing a 70 per cent Y-o-Y order surge for our Home, Kitchen, and Outdoor categories during this festive season.
Maharashtra contributes to the highest number of new customers for Amazon’s Home, Kitchen, and Outdoors market, with Pune being one of the fastest-growing cities for home, kitchen, and outdoors, he said.
As India’s most preferred, trusted, and loved marketplace, we’re excited with the remarkable response from our customers in the first few days of our month-long Amazon Great Indian Festival 2023.
