Anun a leading technology company that offers for the first time Team Purchasing opportunities for Bangladeshi people, today announced its induction into Microsoft for Startups, a global program dedicated to accelerating the trajectory of startups with access to the resources they need, when they need them. As a program member, Anun will have exclusive access to Microsoft technology, mentorship and business support.
The next 80M online customers from small cities in Bangladesh who are coming online for the first time have a very different set of aspirations and needs while shopping online. But the current model of e-commerce does not serve that effectively. Customers want discounts and recommendations from close friends or family around their online purchases. A large chunk of the retail sector in Bangladesh is unorganized and consumers rely heavily on social recommendations to initiate transactions. Anun is the Bangladeshi first social commerce app. Only Anun introduced first-team purchasing opportunities for Bangladeshi people. Mainly Anun app provides group buying offers & local shopping vouchers at reduced prices. For each product on the Anun platform, shoppers can choose to buy the product individually, or initiate or join a team purchase. Anun motivating Bangladeshi shoppers to form teams around the desired product. Team purchases regularly permit customers to enjoy lower prices, however, an order will only be confirmed once a team is formed.
Anun will use Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, GitHub Enterprise, Power & Dynamic 365 solutions to reach a wide-scale audience in a short time, with built in redundancy and security.
“We’re honored to be among such a select group of companies from around the world chosen to join the Microsoft for Startups program. We plan to leverage this amazing opportunity to its fullest & very soon we’re going to expand our operations in Indonesia as Ambil,” said Masum Akando , Chief Executive Officer, Anun. "Our participation in the program comes at a critical time for our company as we launch our social commerce app for customers.”
“Anun’s mission to accelerate social commerce is a great fit for the program. We look forward to helping Anun deliver their innovative solution to our joint customers,” said Ted Roduner, Director of Microsoft for Startups
