Keynote from Anil Shah

Nabil Bank’s CEO Mr. Anil Shah was also present in the Daraz press meet event where he expressed his views in support of the growing change in the way we shop. Mr. Shah said, “ When supermarkets first arrived in Nepal, Nepalese were very skeptical about the quality and price of the products there. But with time Nepalese people have fully embraced these big supermarkets. Thus, seeing Daraz’s success, it shows that even though online shopping is relatively new in Nepal, people are starting to accept it. However, one bad experience and a customer is lost forever. Therefore Daraz also has a lot of struggle to do. However Daraz has continued to win people’s trust and Nepalese society has fully embraced online shopping.”

Having witnessed all changes, improvements, preparations, achievements for this year’s 11.11, we can expect them to deliver a bigger but best #ekdinkosale event. Which can also revolutionize the way we shop in the country.
