Snapdeal to sell services

 

From an e-commerce marketplace, Snapdeal is evolving into a larger online marketplace. The company announced on Monday it is entering into the "$100 billion" (roughly Rs. 671954 crore) market for online services starting with flight and bus ticket bookings said a report in NDTV.

Snapdeal says that it has partnered with Cleartrip, redBus, UrbanClap, and Zomato, and will be providing flight tickets, bus bookings, personal services, and food ordering through its platform.

 

"Online services is an industry potentially worth $100 billion by 2020, and is poised to play a huge role in driving habit commerce in India," says Snapdeal co-founder Rohit Bansal. "The introduction of services on Snapdeal is a big leap forward in catering to nearly all the consumption needs of our customers. We are thrilled to partner with Zomato, Cleartrip, UrbanClap and redBus to bring to our users the best of choices for food, travel and personal services. We will continue to add leading service providers from other categories in our journey to offer a single point access to the widest range of services."

 

"We are confident that the introduction of services on Snapdeal will bring us closer to our goal of 20 million daily transacting users by 2020," he adds.

At a time when common wisdom is that companies are finding it harder to get funded, Snapdeal is trying to create a something-for-everything platform that will appeal to the maximum number of users
