We are looking at the market opportunity through three audience segments — existing SMEs that are selling their products but are not online, existing SMEs that are selling their products offline with a minimal presence online or selling through marketplaces and, lastly, the big opportunity that sits with Individual entrepreneurs who have yet to realise the potential of doing business online.
