Slated for a February 2015 release at eTailing India Expo 2015 in Mumbai— the largest India e-commerce conference and exhibition — the India 100 will rank India's top 100 web merchants by merchant type and main product sales category based on annual web sales and other key operating metrics. Combining eTailing India's market expertise and extensive list of contacts with Internet Retailer's deep understanding of global e-commerce trends and proven research methodology, the India 100 will provide the global e-retailing community with in-depth analysis of the leaders and trends driving India's multibillion-dollar e-commerce market.

"This is mission-critical data that will enable web merchants, vendors, investors and interested parties the world over to truly understand the trends and leaders that are growing the e-commerce market in India," says Ashish Jhalani, founder of eTailing India. "With the industry pegged to reach $90 billion by 2021 and leading e-retailers such as Flipkart and others competing for a massive base of middle-class consumers with mobile devices, e-commerce in India is a force to be reckoned with. The India 100 reflects our continuing commitment to bringing competitive e-commerce information to this fast-growing market," he says.

"The guide will serve as a ready reference for additional insights on the top 100 web merchants in India," Jhalani adds. "Keeping to our mission as a knowledge, educational, advisory organization on e-commerce in India, this research will be circulated widely in India and elsewhere around the world."   

Under the partnership, eTailing India will take the lead role in identifying, researching and contacting India's leading web merchants. Internet Retailer, publisher of Top500Guide.com, the largest global database of e-commerce business intelligence, will provide data management and analysis expertise and other publishing services.

"We're investing heavily in bringing global e-commerce research and data analysis to Indian executives because of India's undeniable and growing importance in global online retailing," says Mark Brohan, vice president of research, Vertical Web Media, LLC, which publishes Internet Retailer magazine and the brand's suite of global e-commerce research publications.
