News this week: B2B e-commerce platform, Alibaba.com, held an offline sourcing event in Mumbai earlier this month. The event was held from 1st to 2nd June and reportedly attracted more than 200 Indian suppliers registered on the company’s online sourcing website.
The two-day event consisted of a seminar on the first day featuring panel discussions, networking and Q&A sessions. On day two, one-on-one business matching sessions were organised for a pre-selected group of approximately 20 suppliers from the gifts, stationery, home supplies, auto parts and apparel industries in India. They were matched with buyers from major retailers.
As BSG has noted in the past on our blog, Alibaba continues to experiment with events in China. In cooperation with Alibaba Group subsidiary, Taobao, Alibaba will host several events this year in Xiamen, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
