Category Manager - eCommerce

About Us

simsim is building a horizontal ecommerce platform keeping in mind the shopping behaviour of the Indian consumer - need for trust and solutions in local language. The current ecommerce models in the country do not cater to these needs of the customers, thereby leading to low overall penetration of online sales in the country particularly in some categories.

Our belief is that the next wave of online commerce in India will be enabled by solving for these unmet needs of the customer. At simsim, we plan to use a unique combination of content and commerce to help customers discover the right products for themselves.
