Sexual health wellness and population control is an important focus in India. The growth and demand for condoms on Snapdeal is driven by a lack of access to a huge variety in non-metros. As Snapdeal has a discreet shipping policy for these products, users have also become confident and more open to buying condoms from the platform.
