Junglee.com, India’s leading comparison-shopping website, has entered into a partnership with Quikr.com, India’s leading classifieds website. This arrangment will enable Junglee.com users to compare prices of new products across hundreds of online shopping sites and also find locally available pre-owned products listed on Quikr.com, which will also help them to make smart purchase decisions on products, starting with consumer electronics goods.
Junglee.com has been ranked as the number one comparison shopping website in India by comScore, and has 30 million listings across 25 categories, from over 1,600 online shopping sites and 50,000 nearby stores.
Commenting on this partnership, Mahendra Nerurkar, General Manager, Junglee.com said, “Our vision is to help customers find the best place to buy anything online or nearby. By adding Quikr to Junglee, we have expanded the buying options available to customers, and made the comparison between new and pre-owned items across online and offline local sellers, that much easier. We are excited about this offering and hope to expand the relationship in the future. ”
Junglee.com has introduced new feature on their site under the heading ‘Related Product Listings’ for the consumers of electronic products. For instance, a consumer searching for a new phone of a popular brand on Junglee.com, under the section ‘Related Product Listings’ will now be able to view prices of hundreds of same / similar pre-owned phones. Customers interested in a particular pre-owned phone can click on the listing and be directed to Quikr.com from where they can communicate with the seller and purchase the phone. Customers across 10 major cities (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi, Pune) will be able to view this feature from today onwards. Junglee.com will expand the coverage of categories and cities in the near future.
Speaking about this partnership, Pranay Chulet, CEO, Quikr.com said, “This partnership is another example of our commitment to ensure that Quikr users get the best possible offers for their pre-owned goods – either on our site or via our partners. Today, the lines are fast blurring between ‘new’ and ‘pre-owned’, especially in hyper-active categories like mobiles, electronics etc. and our partnership with Junglee.com will ensure that brand Quikr continues to stay visible in the larger context of buying and selling online.”
