As part of the Online Shopping Dhamaka, Amazon.in hosted the Diwali Dhamaka Week October 10-16. It offered great deals across hundreds of products from all categories enabling great savings for customers every   day and every hour on their festive shopping.

"The response from customers on the first day of the Diwali Dhamaka Week went beyond our wildest expectations as we surpassed our biggest day - the last day of our Mission to Mars celebrations - in a matter of few   hours. Traffic on that day was 200 percent more than that on our previous biggest day," an Amazon India spokesperson told.

"We saw a massive interest from all over the country including Tier-2 markets like Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Surat, Vizag, Coimbatore, Patna, Bhopal, Nagpur, Chandigarh and Lucknow.

"Our seller clubs that have 10 lakh-plus and 1 crore-plus weekly sales increased by 44 percent and 26 percent respectively during the Diwali Dhamaka Week and sellers received orders from 868 non-metro   cities," the spokesperson added.
