New Delhi: FMCG major Dabur has partnered with e-commerce giant Amazon to make over 30 of its products available to customers in the US, Canada and Mexico as it looks to further strengthen its international play.

"There is a huge demand for ayurvedic, chemical-free products in the international markets... About 30 per cent of our business is international. Amazon has a wider reach and will help us expand our footprint exponentially," Dabur India Executive Director (Consumer Care Business) Krishan Kumar Chutani said.
He added that the partnership will help Dabur tap into demand from the Indian diaspora as well as local Americans.
As a part of Amazon's global seller programme, Dabur initially will take around 30 of its products like Vatika hair oil, Chyawanprash and toothpaste to the US market. "Depending on the response we get, we intend to launch 80 more products in the next quarter," he said, adding that the company is also introducing an exclusive product Himalaya Honey that will be sold through Amazon.com.
