LCommerce is essentially interconnected Open Commerce Marketplaces that are locally run for the benefit of local communities. The women entrepreneurs with eSamudaay’s digital tools will be able to fully own the LCommerce platform in their communities.

eSamudaay, founder and CEO, Anup Pai said, “As society transitions out of male dominance, the participation of woman entrepreneurs in LCommerce will be a strategic advantage for eSamudaay. Increasing the participation of women in the formal economy has the potential of adding $1 trillion to GDP and eSamudaay wishes to play our part in making that happen.”
