Speaking on this development, Mr. Dinesh Gulati, COO, IndiaMART InterMESH Ltd., said, “During this pandemic, we’ve tried to serve not only the businesses but also the nation at large by ensuring that all COVID related products are available on our platform. Besides having businesses providing products like surgical masks, PPE kits and ventilators/BiPAP/cPAP machines, we’ve also brought in unique COVID products like nano mist sprayer, coronavirus stickers and posters, foot door opener, car partition, coronavirus incubation box, sneeze guard, mobile sanitizer and others. IndiaMART has witnessed an incremental surge in inquiries for these products, like inquiries for nano mint sprayer and mobile sanitizer shot up by 31 and 11 times respectively in the month of June 2020 if compared with the inquiries they generated in April 2020. This shows there was a demand for these products and IndiaMART as a platform ensured their easy availability.”
