KATHMANDU: Sastodeal, a leading local e-commerce company in Nepal, and Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace have officially entered into a strategic partnership to initiate cross-border trade opportunities for its lakhs of sellers.
Under the partnership, Sastodeal will host products from Flipkart marketplace sellers operating across the categories of babycare & kids, audio devices, men’s clothing, women’s ethnic wear, and sports & fitness, among others, opening Indian products’ access to Nepali customers. The partnership will also see Flipkart’s Private Brands’ products being made available in Nepal with a promise of next day delivery, to be fulfilled by Sastodeal, Amun Thapa, the founding CEO of Sastodeal, said.
According to Thapa, in the first phase starting mid-August, Sastodeal will be featuring Flipkart’s Private Brands such as MarQ and SmartBuy among others, assuring best-in-class features and quality at prices the Nepali consumers will love. Previously, the customers had to pay a high difference on Indian Currency price whenever they wanted to purchase products from India. But with this deal, the customers can enjoy the best quality products at a negligible difference from Indian prices. The products will be readily-available at Sastodeal, ensuring that customers receive their orders the same or the very next day.
