E-commerce firm, eBay in India, has launched the #LocalToGLobal campaign to encourage Indian MSMEs to grow their businesses globally. # LocalToGlobal campaign is part of a broader brand-planned narrative to showcase the cross-border e-commerce opportunity for home-grown businesses to start selling globally.
As part of the campaign, eBay also produced a video montage featuring sellers (especially The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and artisans) who, by leveraging the platform, have built a global footprint. It’s also focused on how eBay empowers these sellers to meet their global ambitions. The video ends with the call-to-action of Indian sellers to join forces with eBay to expand their businesses across the globe and fulfill their ambitions to become global businessmen.
