Daraz hopes to expand to all the districts of this country through this investment. The novel coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on businesses. People are staying indoors and ordering online for all sorts of products and services. But most of the e-commerce platforms lack the supplies, manpower, and infrastructure needed to cope with the rising online presence of consumers.
The majority of the investment will be used in building more than 150 hubs throughout the country and setting up logistics infrastructure. Building a warehouse of 200,000 square-feet and an automated sorting center of 150,000 square-feet are among the first plans of Daraz.
