He said that only those products, which have Handloom Mark, GI logo and Silk Mark, would be marketed through this facility.
The registration for online selling through Flipkart will begin at Weavers' Service Centre, Chowkaghat from today.
Towards the initiative 'Flipkart Kaarigar ke Dwar' the company is beginning its activities in Varanasi to educate the local weavers to inform them how online marketplaces can enable them to boost and expand their business, said associate director of Flipkart, Inshu Sinha.
Flipkart has also signed a MoU with Federation of Indian Micro and Small and Medium Enterprises (FISME) and National Institute of Fashion Technology, which provides opportunities to students to take their ideas to execution by working with artisans. (KNN/SD)
