Online Marketplace, Snapdeal is expanding its home service category to four cities, which includes Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai and Pune. Snapdeal offers carpentry, plumbing and pest control installation services on its website.
Service Providers include:
- Easyfix
- Hicare
- Terminix SIS
- Jack On Block
“We are currently running a pilot across four cities for the last 40 days. Home-services is an interesting space and we will decide on the business model which works best for us,” said Rahul Taneja, VP of category management, Snapdeal.
While Snapdeal is more synonymous with selling discounted goods, it is exploring other options to create multiple streams of income. During the festive sales last year, Snapdeal sold houses and at the same time it also exclusively re-launched Maggi Noodles online.
It is also trying to keep its sellers happy. Last November, Snapdeal launched aProfessional Services Panel offering its sellers a wide array of services. So as you can see it really is exploring various business models.
