The app will help the cooperatives to sell their products across geographies without any intermediaries. The platform will also provide training and capacity building support to the cooperatives for onboarding on the portal and in areas of packaging, branding and accessing the welfare schemes of the government.
“Powered by robust and scalable technology, the launch of the E-commerce application will enable Cooperatives and their members an easy access to buy and sell their products to buyers across the country. We are positive our partnership with Google Cloud will enable us on our digital transformation journey and economically empower the Cooperatives,” said Dr. Sudhir Mahajan, chief executive of NCUI.
The e-commerce app will also offer a platform to Cooperatives’ community and enable them to sell their products as well as services to a larger group of people.
According to the official statement, the partnership will also promote economic growth, development and a common platform for all the small cooperatives to compete in the market of big players.
“NCUI were seeking a cloud partner who could offer scalability, open-source technology, and a collaborative approach to enhance their operations. We strongly believe that our partnership will provide NCUI with powerful technology solutions, which will help in the economic growth and empowerment of both the Cooperatives and their members,” Bikram Singh Bedi, managing director, Google Cloud India, added.
NCUI said that since the number of users and their demands will likely increase with time, it chose to work with Google Cloud to leverage its scalable, open source, and open standard cloud platform.
