About Zoozle:

Zoozle is a market place and is working towards creating a niche in the Indian E commerce market. The idea is to predominantly become a B2B2C player. Especially focusing on high margin, customisable products.

Must have a family income in excess of Rs 50000 PM and must be hungry for a second income and/or recognition. In short, Zoozle will create a distribution mechanism of 2 million touch points for sellers on zoozle. And for these Entrepreneurs they get a readymade online business with thousands of SKUs to sell and profit from.
