E-commerce major Paytm announced the launch of its Paytm Mall app on Android on Monday.

Consumers will now be able to shop from 1.4Lakh sellers for millions of products across categories like fashion, electronics, consumer durables and home furnishings among others at their convenience.

Paytm Mall will offer a unique combination of the Mall and Bazaar concepts to Indian consumers. Only trusted sellers passing strict quality guidelines and qualification criteria will be allowed on the 'Mall'. All products listed on the mall will also go through Paytm certified warehouse and shipping channels ensuring guaranteed consumer trust.

With over 17 fulfillment centers across India, Paytm Mall is geared towards offering consumers the most trusted and efficient online shopping experience. The platform would also offer sellers the widest reach through its vast network of over 40 courier partners.

"Through Paytm Mall, our aim is to offer consumers the most trusted shopping experience. We have defined quality criteria for sellers and are building strict controls over warehousing and shipping for products sold on Paytm Mall. Consumers would continue to get the largest assortment of domestic and international products through Paytm Bazaar, which will also be featured on the new app," said Saurabh Vashishtha, Vice President - Paytm.

The Paytm Mall would also launch an ungraded version of the simple and intuitive Paytm Seller app. A big hit within the country's merchant community, the latest version would be available in seven regional languages and would allow anyone with a smartphone to set up an online shop on Paytm Mall.

The Paytm Mall is currently available on Android and Web. The iOS app is expected soon.
