The biggest driver for companies' growing interest in India's Despite Online, there is no connecting point for supplier & retailer through online less than 3% business are using online  B2B trade being such an old industry initiated by  MSME  Online B2B marketplace became popular only post the success of UDAAN. The TAM for Online B2B  Ecommerce is immense, and it cannot be encompassed on a single platform.



 "We're incredibly focused on building an encompassing ecosystem  supplier to buyers ' various segment of categories needs by expanding our existing network of online and offline suppliers to strengthen segments like Apparels & Garments   while venturing into new categories like electronics automobiles accessories and home appliances " said Prayash Meher .



 One Size Does Not Fit All


There are more than five-plus B2B e-commerce companies operating in the market selling different categories. Every individual’s buyer requirement is very different, and it needs a deep introspection of the person’s condition to products


 Logistic or shipment Processing


Small businesses are facing significant challenges at the time of shipping or getting delivered to their doorstep, the offline supplier can’t first  deliver to retailer  doorstep we have stated owned logistic & supply chain Firstxpress.in   and 20+ third-party logistic partner are serving more than 30000 + pin code across India to smoothening the fast delivery to our buyers

 

Payment


Due to big-ticket size in  B2B, most of the retailer prefer Cash on delivery  with Online payment  our marketplace manage all payment  instead of the offline supplier  have no option to win the trust of a retailer to manage the payment


Credit buying: Wholesaler is gunning a bigger opportunity. It wants to become a leading platform for merchants who are buying at it.

·Credit Access to Businesses:  Despite a lot of actions in the B2B lending space, none of the startups has been able to make a bigger dent in the segment. Most of the lending companies focus on facilitating the loan to mid-sized sellers who have a credit history. None is willing to get into financing small merchants. “Since Udaan knows about the financial health of sellers through transaction history, understand the size of working capital requirements and can recover, it’s in the perfect position to offer loans and collect them without much workforce involvement.

Targeting Tier 2, Tier 3 Market


"We serve customers from more than 30K pin codes, many of them located in Tier II and beyond since these are the places where buyers  incredibly under-penetrated."


According to Prayash , many customers cannot access traditional credit through online purchase  because the unit economics necessary to serve them are not adopted by banks. For wholesaller, the average ticket size varies from Buyer to Buyer  - for apparels  it would be about INR 20K, while for electronics and other accessories , it can go up to around INR 50K, 

The founder  claimed that 80% of wholesallers Buyers   make a second purchase within next months By default, it is  high for B2B order as the customer once acquired mostly repurchased in every month, and we get the same amount of order every month.


Talking of future plans, Prayash  said that the backbone of wholesaller service lies in the technology platform that enables Credit payment, and thus it plans to expand the tech use-cases across the entire B2B lending chain. For example, wholesaller is exploring the possibilities of UPI-based credit payment  with on UPI' product.
