The Problem

Offline shopping is a "Black Box"

97% of commerce in Bangladesh happens offline, but it is invisible to the internet.

Zero Visibility: Customers walk shop-to-shop asking "Do you have this?"
Price Opacity: No way to compare prices without physically bargaining.
Trust Gap: Facebook pages lack legitimacy; customers fear courier scams.
