Mumbai, Jun 1, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Dukakeen.com Experiences Huge Surge in Sellers from India
Exceptional Milestone: Middle Eastern e-commerce marketplace experiences huge surge in sellers from India as COVID-19 keeps people at home.
Dukakeen.com is a Middle Eastern e-commerce marketplace that helps to connect sellers in India with buyers in the Gulf. It provides a platform for sellers from across the world to sell all kinds of electronics, furniture, home goods, groceries, and fashion products to customers in the Middle East. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many new sellers have joined the platform in order to reach their customers more effectively as many of their customers stay at home.
MBA Fakhro Group, the Bahrain headquartered group that owns Dukakeen.com, formed it as a business to focus on linking buyers and sellers from across the Middle East region. The digital platform offers a huge variety of items sold by sellers from more than 20 countries to their customers in the Middle East. Traders, retailers, and manufacturers have listed more than a million products on the platform, sold by over 1000 traders, retailers, manufacturers and individuals, from India, China, the Middle East and Africa. The Dukakeen website and app are now a major online shopping destination for any kind of product that customers shop.
Commenting on the milestone, Mo Fakhro, the owner of MBA Fakhro Group, said: "We started Dukakeen with the idea that we wanted traders from the region to open their own "Dukans" (or shops) in order to not be left behind, as the global giants of eCommerce entered the region. Its success is a product of our great research and development, business development, and logistics teams around the world, whom we are very proud of. We are obliged to the sellers and customers in the region to make Dukakeen (which means "shops" in Arabic) what it is now: an active, engaging marketplace that puts an emphasis on good technology and quality service. Dukakeen is becoming a symbol of what is possible during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the ground-breaking 1,000 online sellers that have registered on Dukakeen. We have been astonished by the results and the outcome that Dukakeen is presenting, and honestly, we are struggling to keep up with the demand. We expect that this is the foundation and the first of many milestones that Dukakeen will achieve in the future".
