There has been an increase in alternative shopping options with an impetus on sustainability during the lockdown, and many small businesses have been able to showcase their wares in market spaces, thanks to innovative fleas that have also sprung up in this period.

Travel company Moonstone Hammock will be hosting a flea market for small businesses at Shelu, Karjat. “The possibilities of networking, branding, marketing and sales are important to these businesses that have been thriving online,” shares Megh Doshi, co-founder of Moonstone Hammock.
