Amazon unveiled its Global Selling program in India in May 2015 to provide transformative opportunities for Indian sellers and help them grow their business internationally. Currently, over 60,000 Indian sellers are using this platform to sell their offerings across 13 international marketplaces. Through this program, sellers in India register themselves on Amazon’s international marketplaces like Amazon.com (USA), Amazon.co.uk (UK), Amazon.de (Germany), Amazon.ae (UAE), etc. and sell their products to customers in these countries. As part of the Global Selling Program, Amazon provides the most comprehensive suite of 3^rd party services such as taxation, compliance, IP protection and digital marketing support to sellers of all sizes to enable them to sell across the globe.

To smoothen the selling experience for MSMEs, Amazon offers shipping services under the program that allows them to focus on the product and pricing. In addition, Amazon also offers access to third party service providers for any all export related requirements.

To enable sellers familiarize themselves with the tastes & preferences of the destination countries and to launch relevant products, Amazon’s global teams also help sellers understand the demand patterns in various countries. The team gives guidance on how sellers can improve discoverability of their products on each marketplace. Some of this includes guidance on the type of deals they can run, the kind of digital advertisements they can run on these marketplaces and how they can use social media channels to drive awareness about their listings on the various marketplaces.
