The United States E-Commerce Behemoth, Amazon is expanding its logistics business in India by offering the service to its registered sellers even if orders are placed through rival marketplaces like Flipkart and Snapdeal or for their offline distribution.
Amazon is also planning to enter food delivery services and competing with Swiggy. Amazon is keen on acquiring Swiggy and is also in talks with some food tech startups. Amazon already started the pilot project of its new logistic services.
The company’s own logistic service is undertaken by Amazon Transportation Services (ATS). Amazon has priced ATS competitively to sellers which are lower than third-party courier services. It has to be seen if the existing Courier Companies can match Amazon in this new segment.
