Tata launched its e- commerce website and mobile app under the brand name of Tata Cliq, which will sell apparel, footwear, electronics and jewellery. These products will be sourced from in house as well as external domestic and global brands. The venture will start off with two lakh stock keeping units across 400 brands which will be made available to the customers and will be increased over the next few months. Tata Cliq will be covering an area of across 5000 pin codes in 101 cities which covers almost 85% of the e-commerce market in India.
Tata Cliq will carefully choose their products thus making it more exclusive in nature and dealing directly with the brands will ensure a better after sales service too.
