Quikr公司通過建立印度最大的二手商品和服務交易市場，重新定義了分類廣告，今天宣布收購Zefo，以進一步擴大其二手商品業務。Quikr在去年下半年推出了Quikr Assured產品和服務。為了向消費者提供觸摸體驗，特別是在二線和三線城市，Quikr還在卡納塔克邦和泰倫加納邦開設了特許經營店。這是Quikr對二手商品類別的首次收購，符合其在關鍵垂直領域深入發展的整體戰略。Zefo的加入使Quikr成為印度質量測試和翻新產品市場的主導領導者。據估計，到2020年，印度經過質量測試的二手產品市場預計將達到120 - 150億美元，清楚地顯示出該國對二手商品的需求。Quikr Assured二手產品有家具、電子產品和電器等類別。有保證的產品中的所有產品都經過質量檢查，並提供完整的保修和更換保證，以及Quikr的上門送貨選項。根據它們的狀態分為開箱、翻新、優秀、良好、公平和像全新的。它們買起來很方便，也很省錢。 The company's Quikr Assured products business grew 230% Y-o-Y in the recently concluded FY18-19. With its strong growth and attractive economics, QuikrBazaar also became the company's fourth vertical to turn cash flow positive. In addition, it remains India’s only C2C transactional marketplace and also offers intercity transactions. Speaking about the development, Pranay Chulet, Founder & CEO, Quikr said, “The acquisition of Zefo is in-line with the phenomenal consumer acceptance of the Assured products and services on our platform. Generally, a pre-owned product's price can be as low as 30-60% of a new one. Now, with Quikr and Zefo as a combined entity, we will be able to offer a broader selection of products at even more competitive prices along with as strong a focus on quality.” Sarath Chandra Gudlavalleti, VP, QuikrBazaar added, “With the best of Quikr and Zefo coming together, we will double our strength in the quality assurance process, logistics, marketing, and retail, thus raising the bar in the refurbished market for Furniture, Electronics & Appliances and Mobile space. This will enhance the Quikr Assured offering to our customers and further boost our transaction-led business model.” Being an online marketplace which specializes in selling refurbished TVs, mobile phones and furniture, since its inception, Zefo has been offering a completely professional refurbished goods shopping experience for consumers. In three and a half years, the company has expanded to 4 cities and provides 10,000+ unique products across 4 major categories. On the acquisition, Rohit Ramasubramanian, Co-Founder & CEO Zefo said, “Zefo promises a high-quality, hassle-free refurbished & pre-owned goods experience to both buyers and sellers. We achieve this with our unparalleled quality control and refurbishment capabilities. With this transaction, the capabilities we have built and the offerings we have honed can now be offered to Quikr’s large customer base.” While QuikrBazaar is bridging the gap between aspirations & affordability in Tier I, II & III cities of India, it is interesting to note that buying and selling pre-owned products helps save the environment as well. A recent survey by QuikrBazaar says that 31% of consumers are aware of the environment-friendliness factor that comes with buying such products. Share this article:
