Moving towards the future is always considered a step towards success. Pakistan has been is this journey for a very long time to transform its economy into a vibrant and technologically advanced country having a trade surplus.

The citizens are now having greater opportunities with better incomes, sustainable and higher standards of living. E-commerce is one of those sectors where we can expect to achieve the national vision of prosperity.
E-commerce is buying and selling of goods on the internet. E-commerce has enabled the users to extend their reach to national and international markets with relatively lower investments.
Despite being still in the early stages of development, over 2018, the E-Commerce market in Pakistan increased two-fold. Year 2018 was a revolutionary year for the Pakistan’s E-commerce industry having an estimate of PKR 99.3 Billion with a year-over-year growth rate of 92%. Pakistan is one of the untapped markets in the world for e-commerce having a population of approximately 208 million. Even though the country has approximately 70 million subscribers, the e-commerce industry has still not reached that level where the use of electronic money will be dominant over the cash for such transactions.
All these stats might motivate you in starting your own e-commerce businesses, but the real question is what business to start or even where to begin. In the beginning, people often struggle to get their online businesses off the ground profitably. Enablers.org has been helping the youth in establishing their own brands and set up their businesses on Amazon. They have aimed to establish 200,000 Businesses and create 2 Million employment opportunities in Pakistan by 2023. They believe to convert their students into success stories. Their up-to-date course programs and new strategies are supported by the largest team of amazon selling moderator that will pave the path of e-commerce seekers.
This would not just help their students but also participate in the increasing exports of the country. It is now time to give up on getting a nine to five job and working as an employee for the rest of the lives but now is the time to introduce the entrepreneur culture in Pakistan, support the local industries and expand our e-businesses globally that would help in strengthening Pakistan’s economy.
