After Confed-ITA taking the decision to stop billing with ND’s, many associations in Tamilnadu like SNEHAM, DIITA, ITTA-PDY, KITA, TITA, CAMS, KKDCDA etc have extended their complete support by stopping billing from ND’s. This could be the best way by which channel can express their concern to the vendors not to support the unethical business practices done by online sellers which is killing channel business leading to the question of survival. Punjab association was the one which took the lead in North India, Nanded Association has also announced to stop billing from ND’s. AKITDA & FITDAK have planned for a similar action and the meetings are in process.
Few Vendors have expressed their concern that their products should not be banned as their products business was not affected due to online trade. So looking to this the associations are giving a thought and the discussions are in process.
As our community is severely affected due to the unethical trade practices and predatory prices offered by OLS our entire channel communities reputation and livelihood is in stake, at this moment of time we all should take a united action, says, S. Karthikeyan, President, SIITA.
I request all the state and district presidents to come forward without fear, if we follow the action plan of Confed-ITA we will able to bring justification to our fraternity, says, Nalin R. Patel, Vice-President, SIITA.
This is a Dharma Yuddha which is launched after rejection of many peaceful request and unanswered memos. In this crucial time, let us be united and bold enough, not to succumb any dirty tricks of the vendors or ND’s only to save our livelihood business. Hope this boycott will spread to other states of South India and then to Pan India to make the Vendors to listen us. Abhi Naheen tho Khabhi Naheen, says, B. Kuberan, Treasurer, SIITA
FITDAK with AIT is planning for a meet soon this month to announce the action plan to be implemented across the state and it will be positively done whatever decisions we take in the meeting, says, Anand Rao, President, FITDAK
