Amazon has launched QVC-style Livestream shopping in India. The retail group has rolled out the new service, called Amazon Live, bringing an army of more than 150 creators to host live streams and plug products in the videos. The idea is, influencers, with already a large following, will drive their fans to the shopping app and influence them into buying products. They get a cut each time they are able to make a sale.
