Anuraag Gambhir is managing director of Shopclues. So far he was senior director.
In his new role, he will lead the company’s next phase of growth with a focus on cross-border trade expansion and will be responsible for the overall running of the marketplace.
He sees a great opportunity in cross-border trade and wants to focus on import and export through global partner websites that control more than $3.5 billion years of gross merchandise value (GMV).
Shopclues has been working as a close-service partner with the Indian government on projects like the government e-marketplace for the past four years. Gambhir’s vision for Shopclues is to make it a self-sustaining organization that is not dependent on constant funding. Gambhir has been working as a senior director at Shopclues since 2019.
Prior to that, he worked with companies like Accenture and Snapdeal. The Gurugram-based Shopclues completed ten years in the Indian market this year and currently sells retail goods across fashion, and home decor covering over 31,500 pin codes across the country.
There are stores in UP and West Bengal. The strategy behind opening offline stores is to address local needs with local products in the local language. The idea is to have an omnichannel presence, especially in Tier II and Tier III locations.
