Amazon said on Wednesday that its commitment to support small and medium businesses continues on its Great Indian Festival platform, which is dedicated to lakhs of small sellers, including over 75,000 local shops from 450 cities.
This year, Amazon customers can shop for products from businesses based in Hyderabad, Warangal, Khammam, Nalgonda, Gadwal, Mahaboobnagar, Visakhapatnam, and Tirupati, from among several towns and cities in the two Telugu states.
