With the decreasing imports from China across the world, India can match the quality and cost and become the leader in toy market.”

Capitalising on this expanding market, Jammbo has implemented a strategic business model that successfully bridges high-quality manufacturing with widespread accessibility.

Leveraging cutting-edge technology and a keen understanding of child-friendly aesthetics, the company has developed a diverse portfolio exceeding 50 stock keeping units (SKUs), prioritising safety without compromising on the entertainment/fun factor.
Furthermore, Jammbo employs a well-defined omnichannel distribution strategy – partnering with over 10,000 vendors across India, the brand ensures product availability both online and in physical stores throughout the country. This extensive network ensures reach into tier 2, 3, and 4 cities, areas previously lacking access to such high-quality toys.
Moreover, Jammbo’s strategic omnichannel distribution of 10,000+ vendors across India, ensures their products are available both online and offline across India, reaching deep into tier 2, 3, and 4 cities where such quality products were previously scarce.
