How to Find Made in India Tag on Flipkart, Amazon, and Snapdeal
With the uprise in nationalism, people have now decided to go for local products. ‘Go Local’ has become the new motto of the country. This motto has been very effective and aims to support and promote local businesses and their operations.
Local Businesses and E-Commerce
Sometimes, people find it challenging to shop for local products due to weak distribution channels and the unavailability of products in several physical outlets.
This brings E-Commerce into the picture. With the help of e-commerce, local businessmen have got a platform where they can sell their products to the masses and improve their distribution channels.
Companies like Flipkart have started to source indigenous products from local businesses to support the ‘Make in India’ movement launched by the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi. With this shift in sourcing decisions, the prices have come down, and the benefits have been passed to the final consumers of those products.
The e-commerce giants: Flipkart and Amazon have now launched private labels that are indigenously manufactured. These private labels have a major contribution to the revenue stream for these companies.
Checking the Origin Country of the Products

Vocal for Local
