• Stand for Handmade is 10 week long initiative designed to help over 10 lakh artisans, weavers and women entrepreneurs, rebound from the recent challenges

Bengaluru, 30 July 2020: Vidya Balan, the lead star for the eagerly awaited biographical drama Shakuntala Devischeduled for its World Premiere exclusively on Amazon Prime Video on 31 July 2020, spoke with women entrepreneurs & artisans from Amazon’s Saheli and Karigar programs in a virtual event, to laud the company’s Stand for Handmade initiative. Launched about a month ago, Amazon’s Stand for Handmade initiative aims to help over 10 lakh entrepreneurs — including artisans and weavers from Amazon Karigar and women entrepreneurs from Amazon Saheli — rebound from the economic disruption caused by COVID-19.

Vidya Balan said, “India is home to so many art forms – the, weavers, artisans and their creations are a part of India’s heritage and our daily lives. The last few months have brought an unprecedented challenge for them and we need to encourage and support them in these tough times. I appreciate the efforts by Amazon to empower them through this initiative. I also Stand for Handmade.” Vidya added, “The spirit of thousands of women entrepreneurs resonates in Shakuntala Devi’s grit, determination and passion to beat all odds to follow her dreams. Through the promotions of Shakuntala Devi, I have exclusively worn only hand-made garments by artisans – it is my humble effort to draw attention to the rich heritage of art and craft that India boasts of.”

During the interactive session, Vidya further spoke about her love for Indian textiles, arts and crafts, and how Amazon is successfully bridging the gap between artisans and consumers across the country, fulfilling the need of the hour. She highlighted that it is our legacy, and we need to value it. The women entrepreneurs in attendance further discussed about how they themselves want to take their home made products to the global audience and make India proud, which was applauded by Vidya who said “agar vishwas ho toh band darwaze bhi khul jate hai”.

Under the Stand for Handmade initiative, more than 2.8 lakh women entrepreneurs participating in the Amazon Saheli program and over 8 lakh artisans and weavers participating in the Amazon Karigar program are benefiting from 100% SoA fee waiver for 10 weeks, which is otherwise charged to these sellers. Amazon has created a “Stand for Handmade” storefront to help generate customer demand for the locally crafted, handmade products from artisans and women entrepreneurs from different parts of the country. Customers can visit and buy from specific pages created for selection from North, South, East, West and Central India. The storefront showcases traditional handicrafts & handlooms while highlighting stories of craftsmen and their works, bringing their stories closer to the consumers.

Pranav Bhasin, Director Seller Experience, Amazon India said “We remain committed to help women entrepreneurs and artisan community get back to business and rebound from the recent challenges. With Stand for Handmade we are working to enhance the visibility for the products and creations offered by women entrepreneurs and artisans on Amazon.in while helping them with working capital needs with the 100% SoA fee waiver. I would like to thank Ms. Vidya Balan for expressing her support for this initiative. This will bring greater awareness about the art and craft as well as the artisans behind them.

Sunita Bali who sells handcrafted apparels under the brand name ‘Roshni’ on Amazon.in says, “It was inspiring to speak with Ms Vidya Balan and converse about how success comes from the passion to follow your dreams. It is the same passion that has driven me to work with weavers and artisans from Himachal Pradesh to set up Roshni. While initially we would sell at exhibitions and trade fairs, but now with support from Amazon Karigar, we are showcasing the unique hand crafted products from some of the remote villages in Himachal to customers across India”

The eagerly awaited biographical drama is based on the life of the world-renowned math genius Shakuntala Devi. Directed by Anu Menon and produced by Sony Pictures Networks Productions and Vikram Malhotra (Abundantia Entertainment), the biographical drama stars Vidya Balan in the titular role along with Sanya Malhotra, Jisshu Sengupta and Amit Sadh who essay pivotal roles in the film.

Special focus towards boosting exports is the need of the hour for quick revival of the MSME sector – Shri Nitin Gadkari

Indian MSMEs, brands on Amazon Global Selling cross $2 billion in cumulative exports

·         Amazon Global Selling program is taking crores of ‘Made in India’ products to hundreds of millions of customers worldwide

·         The program is witnessing momentous growth; the cumulative exports have doubled compared to the previous year

Bengaluru, 20 July, 2020: Shri. Nitin Gadkari, Hon’ble Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways; Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Government of India unveiled the Amazon India ‘Exports Digest 2020’, strongly reinforcing that boosting exports is the key to the quick revival of the MSME sector.At the launch, Amazon announced that cumulative exports through Indian sellers on the Amazon Global Selling program have crossed the $2 billion milestone. In January 2020, Amazon had pledged to enable $10 billion in cumulative exports by 2025 helping Indian businesses grow by selling online worldwide.

Amazon Global Selling today enables more than 60,000 Indian exporters to sell millions of ‘Made in India’ products to customers worldwide through its 15 international websites in countries such as USA, UK, UAE, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, Turkey, Brazil, Japan, Australia and Singapore. In 2019, more than 800 Indian MSMEs on the program surpassed $131, 375 (INR 1 crore) in e-commerce exports sales.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Nitin Gadkari said, “I would like to congratulate all the MSMEs who have been working with Amazon to take their locally manufactured products, global. It is a testament of the skill and entrepreneurial spirit of Indian MSMEs. The MSME sector is a major job creator and the backbone of the Indian economy, contributing over 28% to India’s GDP and about 48% to the country’s exports. They will continue to play a critical role in the country’s economic revival and help overcome the current pandemic. Exports is a key priority for the Government and we are focused on supporting the Indian MSMEs be more successful in the international markets and increasing the MSMEs’ share of exports to 60%.”

Amit Agarwal, Senior VP and Country Head Amazon India, said, “We are excited with the rapid growth being witnessed by Indian MSMEs and brands on Amazon Global Selling. It took the program three years to hit cumulative exports of $1 billion and it has grown 100% to hit the next $1 billion in less than 18 months, to cross the $2 billion milestone in cumulative exports from India. The program is rapidly boosting exports from India and helping build global Indian brands. We are excited to build a strong foundation for MSMEs to realize their export potential and contribute to the vision of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat.  We will continue to make exports easy for Indian entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes and fulfil our pledge of enabling $10 billion in e-commerce exports by 2025.”

Highlights of Exports Digest 2020

The just published third edition of Amazon’s annual Exports Digest provides insights into the success and scale of exports from India through the Amazon Global Selling program, reflecting a significant increase in demand for Indian products across global markets and the growth of Indian exporters selling globally. Indian MSMEs are increasingly seeing e-commerce exports as an opportunity to grow their business. The number of exporters on the Amazon has grown to over 60,000, with sellers joining from metros as well as tier 2 and tier 3 cities. In 2019, several Indian entrepreneurs and businesses including Wow Skincare (Hair and Beauty), California Design Den (Bed Linens), Chandrakala Creations (Indian Fashion), Aheli (Jewelry), SVA Organics (Herbal products) emerged as globally successful brands, underlining the popularity of ‘Made in India’ products in international markets. 

Rishabh Chokhani, Founder & CEO of Naturevibe Botanicals said, “For us, it was a strategic decision to sell directly to customers across the world and Amazon Global Selling provided us the right channel to start quickly. In 2017, we started exporting with Amazon to the US and Canada and after seeing the customer response, quickly expanded to the UK. In the last 3 years we have seen consistent demand for our range of organic products across international markets and it reflects in our growth from a 3 member set up back in 2017 to nearly 150 member strong team now. Last year, the business grew at 56% YOY and with people opting for natural, healthier options – we are seeing even greater demand in the recent months.”

Exports Helping Indian MSMEs in the crisis

In the beginning of 2020, as the world faced an unprecedented situation that necessitated people to stay at and work from home, thousands of Indian MSMEs helped serve customers globally through e-commerce exports. Made in India products across categories like Health and Hygiene, Nutritional Supplements and Home essentials saw heightened demand from customers in markets like the United States of America, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Japan, Australia amongst others.

“As people worldwide stayed at home over the last couple of months, it has been heartening to see thousands of Indian MSMEs who are part of the Global Selling program successfully fulfill customer needs around the world. In these challenging times, e-commerce exports has provided a robust model for these Indian exporters helping them sustain their business and support the people and families who depend on their business. Amazon Global Selling will continue to provide an easy and quick-to-scale channel for exports for Indian MSMEs”, added Amit Agarwal.
