Nabaz-e-Punjab Bureau, New Delhi, November 3:
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has presented a unique Diwali gift to entrepreneurs of Delhi this year with an aim to boost businesses. Delhi will soon have its own e-marketplace where every small and big entrepreneur will have their own e-commerce store. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that ‘Delhi Bazaar’ will be a state-of-the-art path-breaking portal that will give a global online identity to entrepreneurs of Delhi and through the portal, shoppers will be able to go on virtual walkthroughs of Delhi’s markets, buy any product they like from their home itself. He stated that Delhi’s GDP, tax revenues, and economic activities will see a monumental rise after the launch of the Delhi Bazaar portal; global business will come to Delhi. As Arvind Kejriwal greeted the people of Delhi on the occasion of Diwali, he brought forth a unique gift that will certainly bring excitement among the business community. “The Delhi Government has taken up an initiative that is going to bring a lot more prosperity to the ventures of Delhi’s traders, businesspersons, industrialists, and professionals. We are developing a website called ‘Delhi Bazaar’, wherein each and every entrepreneur of Delhi will get to have their own online shop. One will be able to showcase all their products and services on this portal which will help them reach countless people not just from Delhi or India but the entire world. Virtual bazaars are being developed on this portal. “Take for instance the famous Khan Market of Delhi, there will be an online Khan Market on this portal as well. One will be able to go on a virtual walkthrough on this portal and get the feel of the Khan Market on their phone or computer itself. Right from Lajpat Nagar and Sarojini Nagar Markets to the small DDA markets inside colonies will be present in a virtual avatar on ‘Delhi Bazaar’.”

Further talking about the merits of the portal the CM said, “Imagine the kind of experience consumers will have when they can virtually visit any market, find a shop on it and shop from the retailer directly through the portal. This portal is going to bring even the smallest of the businesses of Delhi to a global scale.” The CM further stated that local businesses will benefit a lot from this portal, “Suppose you live in Shalimar Bagh and want to explore the area around you. The ‘Dilli Bazaar’ portal will help you explore the markets around your locality and let you know everything you need to know about the shops in your radius. The portal will further make it possible to hold unique online exhibitions, instead of limiting an exhibition to a fixed area and a fixed number of people this portal will promote endless opportunities for even the most niche products. Today, when you go to shops and look for variety, after a point even the salesperson gets tired of it. On this website, you can scroll through the entire inventory and cataloging of all the shops of Delhi at a quick glance while at the comfort of your homes.”

He said that ‘Delhi Bazaar’ will be a huge support to startups.” These startups will get a great push in their ventures with exposure to a marketplace like such. I am of the view that this is a one-of-a-kind initiative and there’s no such avenue available across the world yet. All the services and products of Delhi would be listed on the ‘Dilli Bazaar’ portal and no matter where the person is sitting they will be able to buy it. This will bring a huge rise to Delhi’s GDP, tax revenues, and economic activities and thus produce new job opportunities too. I reviewed the progress of the portal yesterday and looking at the quantum of quality and ease we are looking to provide, we have kept a target of August for its launch,” said Arvind Kejriwal.
