A big hello, and a warm welcome to Design at udaan, or as we call it, D@U.
We’re delighted that you stumbled upon our publication and this is our first 👋 Hello to the world.
Let’s begin with a quick introduction :
We at udaan are on a mission to redefine India’s commerce infrastructure. The platform acts as a marketplace for MSMEs to simplify and reimagine their livelihoods and businesses while leveraging on tech for reach and access to goods, logistics and credit.
udaan isn’t about massive enterprises. It’s about including Bharat: small traders, makers, craftsmen, farmers, shopkeepers, pharmacists — transforming their livelihoods through re-imagination. Across tiny towns, talukas and cities.
Design at udaan solves a mammoth of such challenges while serving the millions of under-served Indians.
“There’s no recipe, no existing playbook, no precedents anywhere. We are reimagining and we’re getting started.” -Puja Singh
