In a strategic move to enhance consumer
awareness in the North Eastern states, Amazon India unveiled its expansion of
the "Mission GraHAQ" campaign. This initiative is a pivotal part of
Amazon's continuous efforts to educate and empower consumers regarding online
shopping, with a focus on safety and trustworthiness.
Amazon's "Mission GraHAQ"
campaign aims to proactively educate consumers in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam,
Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura. The campaign
underscores Amazon's commitment to shielding consumers from deceptive practices
and fostering a secure online shopping environment.
To achieve this, Amazon is set to produce
interactive radio programs broadcasted three times a week on All India Radio
(AIR), reaching out to 29 radio stations across the North East. These
broadcasts will be conducted in nine local languages commonly spoken in the
region, ensuring accessibility and comprehension for all.
Rohit Kumar Singh, Secretary of the
Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food And Public Distribution, commended Amazon
India's proactive steps in enhancing consumer awareness. Utilizing local
languages and radio broadcasts, this initiative equips consumers with a deep
understanding of online shopping nuances, including product information, online
payments, grievance resolution, and consumer responsibilities.
Vice President of Public Policy at Amazon India Chetan Krishnaswamy underlined the company's steadfast commitment to offering a reliable and safe online purchasing experience. "The Mission GraHAQ campaign embodies our commitment to educate consumers about their rights and empower them to make well-informed purchase decisions."

Beginning on October 31 and lasting for
three months, radio advertisements in Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Nagamese, Garo,
Khasi, Nepali, Manipuri, and Mizo will be broadcast. These radio ads, which are
the result of a partnership between Amazon and AIR, will address a number of
topics, such as consumer rights, options, accessible channels for complaints,
and secure online purchasing procedures.
The "Mission GraHAQ" campaign,
which was introduced in 2022, has already touched hundreds of thousands of
customers in more than 100 cities in six states. Amazon's creative strategy,
which includes street plays in regional tongues, has been crucial in educating
people about safe online buying procedures and building customer confidence in
the digital retail space.
