PremiumNEW DELHI : Flipkart's value platform 2GUD has launched a new social commerce feature which allows its app users to get a video-based online shopping experience. Consumers on 2GUD’s social commerce platform will be exposed to a feed of videos made by a hand-picked influencer network across various topics and categories.
These influencers will curate their favourite products as part of their collection in the virtual store, allowing consumers to witness their styling journeys across categories.
