Bengaluru / New Delhi: Amazon India and Cloudtail Parent Company, the largest seller on the Amazon.in platform, will not continue with a seven-year-old joint venture when it appears for updates in May next year.
The announcement by the US e-commerce giant came for hours after the Supreme Court on Monday refused to stop the antitrust probe against the largest e-commerce player in the country, Amazon and Flipkart.
Parents Cloudtail, Prione’s business service, owned jointly by Catamaran, was led by the founder of Infosys NR Narayana Murthy and Amazon.
Catamaran, which initially held 51% in JV, raised its shares to 76% in 2019 after the press notification of the government’s press receipt a year earlier.
Provisions in records that are prohibited from online markets such as flipkart and amazon belonging to Walmart from allowing their group companies to sell on the platform.
“The two partners today announced that they decided to not continue their joint venture outside the end of the current period,” Amazon said and Catamaran in a joint statement.
Press Note 2 follows allegations by local trading agencies that have large company sellers on the e-commerce platform – such as Cloudtail on Amazon and WS Retail on Flipkart – pampering in the small discount and doing smaller business share is a victim of the anti-competitive practice.
Last year, the country’s antitrust supervisor, the Indian Competition Commission (CCI), also ordered an investigation against Amazon and Flipkart, acting based on complaints by Delhi Vyapar Mahanangh, a body representing a small seller.
Companies move the Supreme Court to the CCI probe, denying errors.
Moving Amazon to end his partnership with the Catamaran came when the industry wrestled with an e-commerce rules released by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs in June which tried to regulate Flash sales and controlling the wrong online market from manipulating search results on their platform to promote sellers.
Amazon, who has bets in other vendors on their platform such as Retail Appario, JV with Patni Group, does not reveal the reason to end the partnership with Catalamaran.
However, Pravelelwal Praveelwal, spokesman for the traders of the traders of all Indian traders said, “It is now a closing exercise by Mr Murthy.
The fact that Amazon violates FDI’s law and policy through Cloudtail must be known Mr Murthy long before or even when entering the agreement with Amazon.
“Cloudtail reported an increase in revenue of 27.7% to RS 11,413 Crore at 2020-21, compared to RS 8,945 Crore in the previous year.
Cloudtail paid around 9% (RS 980 Crore) from its income as a platform sales cost for the year ended March 2020, and around 4% in the year ended March 2018.
While a significant surge of commissions, still less than that.
The average commission is around 25% who pay third-party sellers who pay to sell goods on the platform.
Amit Agarwal, Senior VP Global and Country Head – Amazon India, said, “Amazon and Catamaran entered JV on the early days of e-commerce in India with a shared vision to change hundreds of thousands of small businesses quickly.
