e-Commerce breathed new life into the local industry. Razib Ahmed sir has been regularly talking about the benefits of e-commerce. As e-CAB’s founder president, he is well aware of the potential of e-Commerce in Bangladesh. Those who did not take e-commerce seriously are now realizing that economic development is not possible without e-commerce. Countries around the world are now giving priority to e-commerce because they realize that the more they can improve in this area, the more they will stay ahead in the competition. Since last year, we are seeing the growing popularity of local produces in e-commerce. One such local product is khadi, a garment with a hundred year history.
Although Khadi was popular offline it was not so much online. Thanks to these new group of entrepreneurs who are selling khadi products online. Because of them, khadi’s demand among online shoppers grew rapidly. Through e-commerce, they are delivering shoppers’ favorite khadi products all over Bangladesh. Through internet, these entrepreneurs developed very good relationship with each other, which was not possible earlier. As a khadi entrepreneur, I think e-commerce will create a new space for khadi online and create more demands. In addition, if an entrepreneur wants, he can sell khadi in B2B mode. This will spread khadi all over the country. There is no doubt that e-commerce will play an important role in the country’s economy in future and domestic products will be at its core. The more we entrepreneurs use e-commerce now, the more success it would bring to our businesses. We must develop necessary knowledge about e-commerce.
