Prior to this, Ayshwaryahad a well-paying job which she decided to give up after having her second child. She was wanting to be independent but did not want to go back to her old job. She even contemplated starting her own company but with zero experience, she felt unsure. At this point, Ayshwarya found a new way to keep her hope alive and pursue her dreams of having a career by selling online on Amazon.in.
Amazon.inprovided Ayshwarya with the opportunity to fulfill her dreams of staying independent financially and transform her life by boosting her capabilities to achieve success as a seller. She joined Amazon.in in June 2017 with the objective to bridge the gap between today’s highly processed, unhealthy, ready to eat foods and our ancient healthy food practices. The Great Banyan offers100% natural, organic, homemade food products suitable for adults and kids including infants.
Ayshwaryahas left no stone unturned to leverage the growth of e-commerce to scale greater heights. With a good monthly income and a heartfelt contentment, Ayshwarya today is able to spend time with her children without giving up her dream of having a career and is leading the life that she wished for.Similar to Ayshwarya, Amazon.in has 4500+ sellers in Chennai and 16000+ sellers in Tamil Nadu, with a 40% growth in the number of sellers in Chennai and 57% growth in the number of sellers in the state in the last one year.
Ayshwarya Prabhuram, an Amazon.in seller with the brand name The Great Banyansaid, “Only mothers who have left their well-paying jobs to take care of their kids will know the pain of losing careers and dreams. Amazon.in provided me with the highest motivation and inspiration at the time when I needed it the most. I’m extremely happy with my association with Amazon.in and as a seller on the marketplace, I aim to continue bringing back our lost legacy of traditional natural homemade food in the current way of life.”
Gopal Pillai, Director & GM, Seller Services, Amazon India said, “In line with our vision to transform the way India buys and sells, Amazon India has been continuously working towards enabling and empowering more and more sellers to embrace online selling and take advantage of thegrowing digital economy.
