Close to 88,000 small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), artisans, weavers and women entrepreneurs received orders from customers in over 5,000 pin codes across the country during the recently concluded Great Republic Day Sale, Amazon India said on Tuesday.

About 65 per cent of these sellers during the sale, hosted from January 20-23, were from non-metro cities like Hamirpur in Himachal Pradesh, Tinsukia in Assam, Medak in Telangana, and Rajsamand in Rajasthan.
