Trading platform Alibaba.com hosted a workshop for Indian resellers of gold, jewellery and handicraft products to improve their business and expand presence in global markets.

Alibaba.com is the global wholesale trading platform of Alibaba Group. About 350 resellers from these sectors came together to explore trade opportunities through e-commerce and mobile technology, it said.

They discussed how to leverage online resources including the logistics and finance resources provided by Alibaba.com’s partners to boost business locally and globally, the statement added.

“The gold, jewellery, handicraft as well as textile and leather industries are a major source of employment and revenue generator in the Indian market. Exports from India contribute significantly to global market demand. However, we strongly believe these sectors haven’t been tapped to full potential,” said Chris Wang, country head, Alibaba.com.
