CellBazaar
Kamal Quadir used technology to build a thriving cell-phone based marketplace in Bengladesh (video).
In the developing world, limited communications hinder commerce.
Isolated and uninformed, struggling traders and farmers have little
option but to sell their goods cheaply to wholesalers. Many spend their
minimal profits traveling great distances to markets.
Kamal Quadir created CellBazaar to capitalize on the proliferation of
cell phones in Bangladesh and build an electronic marketplace. Sellers
use simple text messages to list products for sale via cell phones, and
buyers, in turn, use phones to search products, prices, and locations.
Entrepreneurs also gather market information so they can make smart
decisions to grow their businesses.
