Snapdeal currently has more than 5 lakh registered sellers from across India and looking to onboard more sellers to strengthen its seller base to cater to a wider set of customers across India.
 
Most of the sellers on Snapdeal are from the brick and mortar market and have witnessed strong growth online over the years. Snapdeal will continue to provide an additional distribution channel for these stores to fuel their growth in the online market.

Snapdeal is making progress in taking Indian markets online to offer sellers a robust and future-ready opportunity to grow their business by expanding their operations. Snapdeal built a marketplace to provide unorganised sellers with an opportunity to move online in order to grow," Snapdeal’s senior vice-president Rajnish Wahi told PTI.
 
"Online commerce is nearly 2 percent of India's retail and will reach 10 percent by 2025. Thus, the online market in India will be worth $200 billion in the next 7 years. This growth of e-commerce into India's non-metro cities is expected to accelerate in 2019 and over the next few years," he added.
 
With expansion of its seller base and strong growth in non-metro markets had helped Snapdeal narrow its losses during the fiscal year 2017-18 to Rs 613 crore ($84.7 million) from Rs 4,647 crore it had posted during 2016-17 fiscal.
