Ecommerce has emerged as a strategic player for the Godrej Group as they move towards their Vision 2020 target. Godrej Group wishes to achieve tenfold increase in their business volumes within a span of ten years.
Within five years, Godrej wants nearly 6-8% of its sales coming through the e-commerce channels against the current rate of 2-3%. With strategic talks already underway with established e-retailers such as eBay and Flipkart, Godrej is working towards expanding its outreach and setting a viable fulfillment solution in place. Apart from this, there are a couple of Godrej-owned ecommerce portals which are already functional.

As of now, Godrej is working on setting in place a feasible doorstep delivery of its Godrej Tyson Foods. Furthermore, Godrej has tied up with all major food e-retailers for further promotion.
