Kolkata/IBNS: At the onset of the festive season, millions of retailers, Kiranas and small businesses in the country are set to encash on the e-commerce major Flipkart's ‘The Big Billion Days’ event as it goes live for the second consecutive year on Flipkart Wholesale.

The annual sale event kicked off on October 3 and will go on till October 10.

'The Big Billion Days' across India features offerings to 1.5 million Kiranas while proliferating an array of over four lakh listing in the fashion segment, 13,500 in grocery and 25,000 products in general merchandise

Senior Vice President and Head - Flipkart Wholesale, Adarsh Menon, said: “The Big Billion Days marks the beginning of the festive season for the retail ecosystem and we are delighted to enable the potential of e-commerce for our members. Our digital solutions are aimed to help strengthen India's B2B eco-system and make the country's supply chain more resilient and self-reliant.

"All our efforts are aimed at helping small businesses, which have emerged as self-starters in adopting e-commerce to make purchases. This festive season we see great adoption for the digital platform as small businesses across India take to digitisation.”
