Wal-Mart India, the wholly owned subsidiary of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., on Tuesday launched its online platform for members of Best Price Modern Wholesale stores in Hyderabad and Lucknow.
As a virtual store, the e-commerce platform provides a similar assortment of products, as well as special items to its members.

Prior to the launch, workshops with members were organized by Wal-Mart India team in the two cities (Hyderabad and Lucknow) to generate awareness on this initiative and also to create better understanding about the website navigation, benefits and registration processes.
