Easy Taxi and Carmudi recently held the E-commerce Transport and Automobile Conference 2014, to promote and educate the general public about the benefits, success, and growth of e-commerce in Pakistan through the recent years. The conference was a showcase presenting the e-commerce growth in Pakistan that is revolutionizing the automobile and transport industry holistically.
The event was attended by people from all walks of life including prominent media personalities, bloggers, distinguished e-commerce players, as well as students from various educational institutions.
Some prominent speakers at the event included West Asia Managing Director for Easy Taxi, Mr Leonardo Schmidt Boz; Country Manager Pakistan for Carmudi.pk, Mr Ali Izhar; and the Managing Director of Asia Region for Kaymu, Mr Ahmed Khan, represented Kaymu.pk (an online marketplace) at the event.
The event was also attended by Easy Taxi’s country manager Mr Adam Ghaznavi. Commenting on Pakistan’s e-commerce revolution he stated, “We have come a long way in a short span of time. While there is still immense potential in the market to grow, we are on the right track. At Easy Taxi we are proud to be playing our part in helping Pakistan’s e-commerce sector grow.”
While speaking during the conference, Carmudi’s Country Manager Pakistan Mr Ali Izhar commented, “Carmudi is bringing in more transparency into the market as we are aggregating the whole market in one place and can thus guarantee the best prices. If a hundred cars of the same make and model are offered on our site, Carmudi.pk, for approximately the same price, you can assume that it is fair as it reflects the market. To this end, today, we are very excited to collaborate with Easy Taxi and help promote e-commerce by pitching in our two cents to revolutionize the automotive industry in Pakistan.”
During the event Easy Taxi’s Leonardo Schmidt met prominent bloggers at the event and shared the organization’s plans to expand the business.
The e-commerce sector in Pakistan still has a long way to go, but experts believe that the industry is still growing. It is bridging the gap between the consumer and the markets increasing accessibility and ease to purchase. The launch of 3G and 4G services is expected to expedite this growth.
