Symphony partners with EkShop

Local mobile phone brand Symphony has partnered with E-Commerce Marketplace EkShop to popularize mobile shopping and transactions to marginalized people through digital micro-entrepreneurs. According to the ICT department, a large part of the country is still deprived of the benefits of small entrepreneurs in digital commerce. EkShop is adding them to e-commerce. Accordingly, EkShop has signed an agreement with Symphony Mobile for these entrepreneurs. On behalf of Symphony, Zakaria Shahid, Managing Director of Edison Group, and a2i's Head of E-Commerce and Team Leader Rezwanul Haque Jami signed the agreement. Through the agreement, Symphony will promote how to make it easier for marginalized people to buy and sell e-commerce products via mobile and transact through online payments. Incidentally, in 2016, under the Access to Information (a2i) project of the Prime Minister's Office, the e-commerce marketplace 'EkShop' started piloting. In 2019, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, ICT Adviser to the Prime Minister, inaugurated its commercial in the ICT Division. Through the digital micro-entrepreneurs connected to 'EkShop', the people of the village are able to order products from the city at home. On the other hand, small entrepreneurs in the villages are able to sell their products in the city as well as in the global market through EkShop. There are basically two types of services provided through 'EkShop'. Firstly, the common people of the village can buy any product from 'EkShop' if they want. On the other hand, small and attractive (handicraft) products of the village are being taken from small entrepreneurs and sold in the city.
