New Delhi, 16 February 2010: India’s largest online B2B marketplace, IndiaMART.com has launched a nationwide advertising campaign across radio, Internet and print media. The two month long campaign aims to enable bulk buyers and suppliers to find and discover the right business partners across India and overseas. This drive is an extension of raising awareness among SMEs and MSMEs to bring them online.
Announcing the launch, Founder and CEO, IndiaMART.com, Mr. Dinesh Agarwal, said, “The world is changing fast and everyone knows it. More and more people are doing business online and even the smallest business can no longer afford not to be there on the Internet. IndiaMART.com has made it very simple for buyers and suppliers to do business from anywhere to anywhere.
We wish for all SMEs and MSMEs to become part of the silent revolution and adopt the Internet as a new way of doing business to achieve sustainable expansion, growth and competitiveness.”
Agarwal further added, “At a time when everyone is cutting on hiring and marketing activities, the Internet serves as an economical means of reaching newer markets. There are numerous such hidden opportunities that businesses can explore online.”
Founded in 1996, IndiaMART.com has been at the forefront of fostering trade between buyers and suppliers. The company is a proud and deserving recipient of Emerging India and Red Herring awards for its efforts. Talking about the campaign, Arun Tyagi, General Manager, Marketing, IndiaMART.com, said, “India has more than 10 million SMEs, of which only about 1 million SMEs are online. Our integrated marketing campaign aims to bridge this gap by communicating the benefits of the Internet to the small and medium businesses and make them understand how the Internet has become a new channel of sales for their business. Nationwide presence across print, radio and Internet shall help us in taking our message to a large part of the target audience.”
