Founders of Internet Retail Project
Our founders have been delivering eCommerce since the days when selling in India never meant selling “online”. They had conceptualized and executed large number of eCommerce projects, be it managing the online brand stores or handling cross- border transactions, even managing large B2C Auctions.
However, it was realized that how much ever we advance technologically, the benefit arising out of these is reaped only for certain urban educated section. All others, continue to live their life more or less the same way they used to 10 years. The question arose as to how you connect these 1.2 billion people to evolving technology?
Assisted eCommerce was the answer and out of it emerged “iStreet Bazaar “– India First Internal Retail Store.
It got recognition from all over like ‘Start up Project of the year 2014’ by Silicon India, ‘10 Fastest Growing Company 2016’ by Silicon Review, ‘Top 30 Fastest Growing Companies 2016 to Watch’ by Silicon Review, ‘10 Fastest Growing Retail Company’ by Insight Success.
The project was selected for the Summit in Dublin in 2014 as Alpha Project.
