Amazon India has seen a 14 per cent growth in seller base but remains lower than that of Meesho for their upcoming annual festival sale "The Great Indian Festival".

"Our current seller base exceeds 16 lakh sellers from all across the country," Amazon India, Director, Selling Partner Services, Amit Nanda, said.

Interest of sellers for Flipkart has remained muted on a year-over-year basis.

While announcing annual festival sale dates "The Big Billion Days" on Monday, Walmart group firm Flipkart had said it has over 50 crore users and more than 14 lakh sellers on the platform, including sellers of its other platform Shopsy as well.

Flipkart had reported the same level of sellers onboard before the TBBD in 2023.
