South Korea’s E-Commerce giant Coupang to join Amazon & Flipkart in India!

Coupang to take on Amazon, Flipkart, JioMart, TataNeu, ONDC, and others in India? The company has started talks with Indian officials.

Coupang is in talks with the Indian government, probably to enter the Indian E-commerce market. It is South Korea’s biggest E-Commerce marketplace.

Coupang also delivers grocery & food, and has an OTT service. It has a same-day, 1-day and 2-day delivery service. 99.6% of its orders are delivered within 24 hrs!

A year ago it got shut down in Japan after 2 years of operations. However, it raised $4.6 billion via IPO in the U.S. (2nd biggest IPO after Uber). SoftBank is the main Investor in this company.

This is what Indian officials said:-

“We have received an application from the South Korean government, in which Coupang has expressed interest in entering India. Dialogues with the Coupang delegation are likely to start next month”

If Coupang makes it then it will compete with Amazon, Flipkart, Reliance (JioMart and others), Tata Neu (Tata CLiQ and others), and ONDC (government backed).

According to the FIS 2023 Global Payments Report, India is expected to grow from $83 billion in 2022 to $150 billion in 2026. This is what may be the reason for Coupang’s India entry.

Nice deals gonna blow 🌬️🍃 up r way joy joy


My concern is for them that they have a big hurdle ahead of them as  they joined the party late. They cud take some share but becoming a market leader wud be very tough.Cud hv been easier if they came up early but still if things r done right n the coffers don't dry up then they cud enjoy good userbase. But they might become Ali express or something. Gen Z Girls love Korea so do millennial women , they cud be a good source of money as makeup items of Korea r quite famous plus might be high end as well as low cost . These cosmetics combined with prize conscious day to day Korean products , could drive sales for them in Metros. If they sell branded products n team up with big retailers then a big plus for them as they won't look like Ali express selling cheap products n no sign whether they are counterfeit/fake or not.

South Koreans don't like Indians at all so I won't give them any welcome

Yes, they're even more racist then old white americans. But weirdly they're more hardcore fans of US and UK then their own country! Inferiority complex?

P.S. my 2 cousins and few of friends were huge fans of BTS and they would buy anything that they would sponsor, esp Korean food (taste bland)/beauty products. After a few months, we found the beauty products are average to below average and finally stopped ordering.

But they pay a handsome sum to influencers so get ready to be spammed 😑

Earlier malaysian giant came, what was the name, shoppy something, they have to take exit within 6 months .... It is hard to survive in indian market. 

Also, i don't know how much truth in it, but south koreans hate Indians.

Koreans are cute though, i will buy them if price is reasonable. grimacing

Shopee. Parent Sea Limited of Singapore. They closed the India operation following India Government's ban of Free Fire. Now a days Shoppe is only active in South East Asia and LatAm countries.
