Overview

We enable WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram-based micro-entrepreneurs to source wholesale products from across Pakistan. Our marketplace enables these micro-entrepreneurs to start their business without any investment while we facilitate them by offering their customers a great experience. We do this by taking care of their delivery operations, payments, and customer services.

Pakistan is one of the youngest populations globally and is expected to become the 7th largest consumer market by 2030. Our vision is empowering 5 M + people, especially women, to start their businesses while working from home and supercharging the eCommerce rails of Pakistan.
