Reading AuctionBytes: Alibaba.com Surpasses One Million Members in India

Alibaba.com surpassed the one-million member milestone in India, bringing the total number of registered users to 8.6 million on its international marketplace coming from 240 countries and regions.

With more than 40,000 Indian small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) joining every month, Alibaba.com has doubled its Indian membership from around 500,000 in May 2008. Indian small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) now account for 12 percent of all registered users on Alibaba.com's international marketplace, making it the second largest international market after the United States.

On July 1, 2009, Alibaba.com will open its Gold Supplier membership to suppliers in India for the first time. Gold Supplier International Edition is Alibaba.com's highest level of membership for Indian exporters and will allow them to maximize their exposure to overseas buyers. All suppliers applying for the membership must pass an authentication and verification process conducted by an independent third-party agency.
