E-commerce industry is going to be exceed $1Billion revenue in Pakistan by 2020 ~ Tribune

That was Predicted in 2016, now, no wonders, it going to exceed this value by 2019, as the E-Commerce industry is at its peak and doing major business in Pakistan after the 3g and 4g services being served to every corner of Pakistan.

The major domain of e-commerce is Online Shopping. However, in start this niche has taken over the traditional way of doing shopping, like visiting shop physically, exploring products and negotiating prices and there was huge conversion from traditional methods of Shopping  to digitalize way of online Shopping. But as the interest of the people increase, the major drawbacks start to happen, the market player in the field were found mostly, not making up their commitment, in terms of product quality, product price (vender-based sites, where the venders start to post fake discounts and price and compromise quality of products), some stores also found to violate their commitments on delivery time, warranty and availability of products.

An undergraduate Student at Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute (GIKI), Muhammad Bilal Jamil, also the founder and CEO at Shoppingum, came up with a solution to these problems and proposed a bridge building solution between the online stores in Pakistan and customer. It’s a website named Shoppingum.
