Alibaba recently hosted small businesses across Delhi, Surat, Ahmedabad, and Jaipur to encourage them to harness the power of e-commerce, ET Retail reported. The business’ aim to get small businesses to participate in global markets is in line with the Union Government’s focus on micro, small, and medium enterprises for the country’s overall economic growth. The business said in a statement that participating businesses spanned industries including textiles, leather goods, apparel, jewellery, eyewear, and watches. 

"Alibaba.com, in line with the group’s vision to make it easy to do business anywhere, has been working in India to enable and empower local SME’s and MSME’s to participate in global markets,” the business’ regional director for global business-to-business South Asia, told ET Retail. “Having one of the largest global buyer bases on the platform, we have seen a growing demand for a variety of products from India and with quality manufacturing across many categories, we want merchants to build in India and sell to the world."

Alibaba has chosen to halt its search for new India investments but has not exited any of its ongoing ones, Mint recently reported. The business hosts businesses from 200 countries on its e-commerce platform.
