The CEO shared “Typically traders care about one side of the leg, either import or export, however, there is a huge gap and opportunity in the cross-trade model due to linguistic hurdles, issues of accessibility, lack of product awareness, etc. Thousands of high-quality products are yet to be exchanged as a result and we are doing our bit to bridge this gap. Our group’s USP is in the exchange of goods between two countries, which makes us efficient, effective, and affordable compared to other conventional traders”.
