Right from new business leads to execution, Amazon teams have helped us at every stage, empowering us to help hundreds of sellers” he adds.
Selling on amazon woos every seller as it is one of the biggest four IT companies; and Amazon has put in place to enable millions of sellers in the country to take advantage of the fast growing ecommerce industry. But for sellers who are not online savvy or constrained by time & expertise to start or manage their online sales channel Amazon SPN comes as a rain in desert. The owner was an employee in an IT company but always dreamt of doing something different.” This is when our collaboration with Amazon on 23rd March, 2017 marked the start of our journey and today there’s no looking back”, says the young CEO of Navus.
In the last 2 yrs., Company is been trained on Amazon systems and processes, Navus has seen a significant growth within a short span. It started with a team of just 4 people and today it proudly announces to have an in-house team of 100+ Amazon-trained marketplace professionals with Direct and round-the clock communication with Entire Amazon team. It is offering comprehensive and one-stop services to the sellers like Advertisement optimization, Cataloguing (Product listing) and Boost (Reviews and Account Management).

The growth of the company can be attributed to the unanimous and consistent guidance of Amazon team which is working aggressively to reach more consumers in this rapidly evolving segment.” Various clients issues and escalations creeping in and It was bit difficult for me to tackle these properly; here again Amazon backed us and suggested us to set up a complete support department and structure in the company and helped in resolution and smooth working”, says Ratan.
The Company today has a well-defined organizational structure enforcing a systematic process that would enable information to flow through the organizational layers (Account manager to TL to Super TL and the management) for better decision-making, and goals alignment.
