Walmart Marketplace strives to unlock the potential of Indian businesses by giving sellers access to customers around the world. Through dedicated onboarding support and expertise in navigating global supply chains, we’re empowering sellers with the tools they need to thrive in the U.S. marketplace and beyond.”
Currently on the U.S. Marketplace, Indian sellers can list inventory in categories including Home Textile, Bath, Home Décor, Apparel, Jewelry, Toys and Beauty with complete control over pricing. The company seeks to add Indian manufacturers and brand owners across various categories to its marketplace and drive value for millions of customers.
