New Delhi, Dec 10 (KNN) In an attempt to give marketing platform to small businesses in India, Amazon India has announced December 16, 2018 as ‘Small Business Day’.

The initiative will give major push to the small industries that often find it difficult to market their products.

The aim is to put the spotlight on products from small businesses across India and provide the small businesses a marketing platform to up-lift their standard of living as well.

Amazon India supports small businesses and help them fulfilling their big dreams. One such example is of ‘Haastika’, a store which sells traditional handicraft made by the rural artisans from Odisha to the rest of India through Amazon.

These handicrafts include metal and stone sculptures, jute baskets, silver jewelry, vases made of terracotta, and Odisha’s famous pattachitra art which has oil painting on fabrics.

Amazon India empowers small and medium-sized businesses to reach millions of customers with a number of programmes that help boost their revenue, reach and productivity.
