Ehsan Saya, Managing Director - Daraz, commented that, “Gyara Gyara’s performance this year reflects our customers, brands and sellers’ trust in the platform who have made Daraz the leading ecommerce platform in Pakistan. With the success of 11.11, it was very pleasing to see more and more customer turning towards purchasing online. We empowered and enabled millions of individuals (both buyers and sellers) this year and look forward to continuing to do so in the future.” Daraz was ranked as the Number 1 App on Play Store during the period showcasing the platform’s popularity amongst its audience before the mega sale kicked-off. The high number of downloads and the growth of the platform proves the increase in demand for online shopping in the market. This year’s campaign set a precedent by taking place during such turbulent times and the figures are praiseworthy even through the toughest of times for the economy.
