The total volume of daily ecommerce shipments ranges from 1 to 1.5 million, out of which 70 percent is done by the big four marketplaces in India, while 30 percent are generated through e-tailers from their websites or other small marketplaces.

To achieve the 5 percent e-commerce shipments market, we are looking at strengthening our channel partnerships with other seller-focused platforms in India, to ensure that ShipRocket becomes the de-facto platform for any online seller to ship their orders. The channel partnerships we are exploring, range from other vendor-tool players, payment gateways, CRM service providers and more.”
