Furthermore, With the help of e-commerce platforms, FMCG companies may reach customers in even the most rural areas of India due to their nationwide reach. Comparing this increased reach to conventional brick-and-mortar retail is a big benefit. Moreover, products are suggested by algorithms on e-commerce sites based on a user's past browsing and purchases.
