It’s an important step for us in our mission to improve efficiency in home management for Indian households. We are extremely delighted and look forward to make the best out of this huge opportunity!”
“We have been selling on Amazon for about 6 months and we have realized that Amazon is extremely careful with regard to customer experience. We feel we were selected since our product has been receiving overwhelmingly positive response with regard to delight it provides to our customers,” he adds.
A year and a half ago, Amazon had introduced this Programme in U.S after which it was launched in other western countries. Amazon has recently launched the same in India. India is the seventh location around the world where amazon has introduced the Launchpad.

The store, which can be found on Amazon.in, features over 400 innovative products ranging across categories like wearable technology, health monitoring, food and beverages, educational toys, and others. Another benefit would be that the Indian startups are given a chance to reach out to 300 million users around the world and make a name for themselves. The Launchpad is already available in the US, UK, China, Germany, France, and Mexico.
