Audientes opens up for online pre-ordering in India and enters into cooperation agreement with eShopBox in India

Consumers in India and elsewhere in the world can now pre-order Audientes’ hearing aid product, Ven™ for delivery in India. Audientes has entered into a partnership with eShopBox. This partnership makes it easy for Audientes to scale sales from multiple etail-platforms in India and ensures fast delivery to Indian consumers through their nationwide fulfillment centers.

eShopBox - a recognized partner helping brands scale in the Indian market
“In accordance with our ecommerce strategy and roll-out plan in India, we are excited to be partnering with eShopBox, an established organization with over seven years of expertise in ecommerce in India. A recognized ecommerce enabler, eShopBox has helped countless known brands scale in the Indian market, and we are very much looking forward to collaborating with them,” says Steen Thygesen, CEO, Audientes A/S.

The Indian market is the world’s second largest ecommerce market with an ecommerce value of USD 84 billion and approximately 329 million active ecommerce buyers in 2021. The market is under rapid expansion with a yearly growth rate of 25-30% and an exploding market growth in e-healthcare, estimated at USD 2.7 billion in 2023, and e-pharmacy, estimated at USD 16 billiion in 2023.

A perfect candidate for online sales
Mr. Gautan Raheja, Chief Marketing Officer, eShopBox comments; “Ecommerce in India has seen rapid development in recent years, a trend that is expected to continue as the number of people shopping online grows. This year alone, there were over 300 million ecommerce buyers, which is massive when you consider that there is only 50% internet penetration here. We are delighted to be part of Audientes’ journey to roll out Ven to the Indian ecommerce market.”

Supporting Audientes ecommerce strategy
The agreement with eShopBox and the launch of Audientes’ online ecommerce platform is an important step in the company’s global ecommerce strategy, paving the way for future launches of online ecommerce platforms in additional countries, including the US and further markets in Asia. Audientes’ will initially only sell and ship its products and accessories to customers with delivery address in India, but can bill buyers worldwide. In the future, additional countries will be added gradually.

Robust platform for global ecommerce now launched
Moreover, Audientes has now implemented a versatile and robust global ecommerce platform with an emphasis on the consumer experience and modeled on a globally recognized order flow. The platform has integrated multi-language and multi-currency with amalgamation to more than 100 payment providers around the world. It is also readied for easy integration to multiple fulfilment centers in varying countries and comes unified to global courier services for international shipping. From a consumer standpoint, it is combined with customer care for a coherent customer experience with a focus on providing the best possible support and service to customers. For Audientes, this means easy “copy & drop” roll out country-by-country as we enter new locales in the coming years.
