Snapdeal, India’s largest online marketplace, today extended its Services offering and announced its partnership with BookMyShow. Customers can now book tickets for movies on Snapdeal, in addition to flight and bus ticket bookings, hotel reservations, personal services and food ordering. BookMyShow’s e-ticket booking service can be accessed through dedicated widgets on Snapdeal’s app.
With this partnership, Snapdeal is extending its presence in new verticals as it continues to become a part of the daily life of its customers. Speaking about the launch, Tony Navin, Senior Vice President, Partnerships and Strategic Initiatives, Snapdeal said, “We embarked on a new journey earlier in July, by partnering with Zomato, UrbanClap, Cleartrip and RedBus to offer a single point access to the widest range of services, for our users. We are focusing all our energies towards adding more services on the platform and are making rapid strides towards ensuring that Snapdeal becomes a one-stop solution for our customers. Snapdeal’s integration with a leading service provider like BookMyShow is another step in this direction. We are confident that the introduction of services on Snapdeal will bring us closer to our goal of 20 million daily transacting users by 2020.”
Marzdi Kalianiwala, VP - Marketing and Business Intelligence, BookMyShow said, “At BookMyShow, we are always looking at ways to provide access to entertainment for both new and existing users. Our association with Snapdeal will allow its large set of users to meet their movie ticketing needs through BookMyShow without having to leave the platform. This partnership has been particularly driven to ensure convenience and provide value to movie lovers across the nation."
