Moreover, millions of small entrepreneurs and producers from rural, suburban, and urban areas can use the Jachai.com marketplace to enhance their businesses by paying sales commissions, thereby contributing to the growth of their businesses.
Regarding the Memorandum of Understanding, Regwanul Haque Jami, chief of E-commerce of a2i, said that being able to play a role in the continuous development of local e-commerce companies like jachai.com fills them with great pride.
"We have always been vigilant in developing new tools and services to enhance the social contribution of a2i's local start-ups. Jachai.com does not believe in competing in the market as a separate entity from it since its inception, but instead, it has been constantly striving to create a supportive local market infrastructure," he said.
Chairman Abdul Aziz of Jachai.com stated that the company will bring various products and services to the market, bringing together Jachai and Ekshop to facilitate the daily lives of citizens in the country.
