Health and safety is a top priority for us, and hence, the launch of the IKEA app is another touch point to make home furnishing accessible to many people and ensure customers can shop safely from their homes. We are now one step closer to making every day better with our on-the-go e-commerce service.”
The app launch is a part of IKEA’s omnichannel approach to meet the many people of India. It will be through a combination of big IKEA stores, smaller city-centre stores, and online platforms. In the current situation, the needs of the home have changed for many people. A home is a playground, an office, a school, etc. It is wearing multiple roles and there is a need to fulfil these requirements with the right home furnishing accessories. This is where IKEA’s app and eCommerce delivery steps in to support the many people in the best and safest possible manner. IKEA will continue to focus on building stronger digital capacities and expand to more cities to meet 100 million people in the coming years.
Along with safe click & delivery to their doorsteps, customers will also be able to avail Click & Collect service while shopping on the app for safe and contactless shopping from our stores in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
IKEA India opened its first retail store in Hyderabad in August 2018, followed by online stores in Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Pune in 2019. The second store in India opened at Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, on December 18, 2020.
