Online retailing giant Amazon has launched its shopping website “junglee.com” in India that boosts country's rapidly-growing e-commerce business.
The website offers 12 million products across 25 categories — including books, movies, mobile phones, cameras, toys and clothing — besides its best-selling Kindle e-book reader.
The website allows customers to compare prices but purchases will have to be made through a network of third-party suppliers.
Amazon comes to the country at a time when Indians are shopping online more than ever before through popular outlets like bookstore giant Flipkart and the Nasdaq-listed travel portal MakeMyTrip.
Amazon said last month it was in the process of setting up its first warehouses in India, which would make shipments faster and cheaper.
