Amazon India to remove seller Appario from its ecommerce site

Amazon India and its joint venture partner Patni Group-owned Zodiac Wealth have decided to remove online seller Appario Retail from the company’s online platform, according to a joint statement issued on Monday.

According to an official source, the move is voluntary and intended to avoid any conflict of interest. Appario is a wholly owned subsidiary of Frontizo, a joint venture between Amazon India and the Patni group’s Zodiac Wealth Management. After Cloudtail, a joint venture between Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy and Amazon, was shut down, Appario became one of Amazon’s top sellers.
