Diversified financial services company Karvy Group, which has started an e-commerce enabler business to help small and medium enterprises, is targeting ₹100-crore business in two years, and plans to hire 200 people by the end of 2017.
“We started the e-commerce seller services business four months ago, and have about 5,000 sellers listed with us presently across 15 cities,” said Karvy Data Management Managing Director V Mahesh.
Karvy E-commerce Seller Services is a division of Karvy Data Management.
The company has set up a website, Karvyclick.com, where small vendors can avail themselves of services such as registering on e-commerce platforms, creation of product catalogues and content, and launching of products.
Present in 15 cities, the company is planning to establish its services in 400 cities across the country where the data management business has a presence, he said.
The large e-commerce companies in the country, namely Flipkart and Amazon, have their own seller service programmes.
Karvy hopes to bridge the gap in areas where their services may not be as active. The company charges a commission fee from sellers for various services it offers, Mahesh said.
