Due to the coronavirus pandemic sweeping across the country, the operations of many Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) came to a standstill, causing owners of these small businesses to face severe financial downturn in a short time.  

In this challenging time, Daraz Bangladesh, a leading online marketplace, has launched Seller Moitree Program to help the recovery of over 30,000 SMEs.

Under the programme, Daraz aims to subsidise up to Tk 10.5 million to help the entrepreneurs get back on their feet.

It has launched the Seller Moitree program to bring SMEs online in a record time and diversify their sales channels and revenue streams beyond the traditional brick-and-mortar stores. The programme aims to reinvigorate the SME sector by providing one-on-one support.

The new programme offers a quick sign-up process for retailers, enabling them to start selling on daraz.com.bd within a couple of days.

Daraz will not charge sellers commission for the months of May and June. Besides, sellers will have access to free analytics tools to help them optimise their sales. They will also be provided with marketing tools to increase the traffic to their Daraz shops. 

In addition, Daraz is offering businesses access to free training on e-commerce operations through Daraz University to ensure sellers perform well in their portfolio on daraz.com.bd. 

On the occasion, Syed Mostahidal Hoq, managing director of Daraz Bangladesh said “Our main goal at Daraz is to make it easy for the sellers to do business from anywhere in this digital era. Therefore, for the convenience of the sellers and to revive the online business activities, we have initiated the “Daraz-Seller Moitree Program”. We hope our seller community will be benefited from this initiative, and we truly believe that we will play a major role in moving the country's economy forward in this crisis”.

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to be a catalyst for the growth of e-commerce industry. Therefore, Daraz stands by its mission to make it easy for anyone to do business online.
