Customers Choose Where to Buy

Customers can buy products online by following the link to the seller's website or find a seller's physical store if they would rather purchase the product in person or call the seller and place an order by phone.

"We're excited to add our product selection to Junglee.com and leverage the world class e-commerce technology to help customers in India easily discover our products online," said Mr. Rajeev Gopalakrishnan, Group Managing Director, Bata India Ltd.
