Typof started with a vision to empower Artisan, where our co-founder, Dibhya, previously runs a saree brand but faces technical challenges for building her own site. She connected with another founder, Trilochan, and discussed her challenges while building her own brand. Trilochan comes up with the proposal if she can first onboard at least 10 such entrepreneurs who are facing the same challenges. With her connection, she onboarded up to 40 customers at first. After discussing this issue, both of us understood that it's not only 1 or 40 entrepreneurs who are facing this; there are many, and we decided to build a platform for all the non-techy people who can build their e-commerce websites with ease. We have currently onboarded 10,000+ sellers who have built their websites with us.
The problem addressed by Typof revolves around the challenges faced by businesses in establishing and managing their online presence through e-commerce. Some key aspects of this problem include:
1. Complexity: Many businesses find it daunting to navigate the complexities of setting up and managing an e-commerce website. This includes tasks such as website design, product listing, inventory management, payment processing, and order fulfilment.
2. Technical Expertise: Developing and maintaining an e-commerce website often requires technical expertise in web development, coding, and design. Small businesses and entrepreneurs may lack the resources or knowledge to handle these tasks effectively.
3. Cost: Traditional e-commerce solutions can be costly, with expenses related to website development, hosting, maintenance, and transaction fees. These costs can pose a significant barrier to entry for businesses with limited budgets.
4. Time Constraints: Building an e-commerce website from scratch can be time-consuming, especially for businesses that need to get their products or services to market quickly.
1. AI-Driven E-commerce Solutions: Typof leverages artificial intelligence (AI) technology to empower businesses with intuitive website building tools, personalized customer experiences, and automated processes.
2. Simplified Website Development: Unlike traditional e-commerce platforms that may require coding skills or extensive technical knowledge, Typof offers a user-friendly interface and drag-and-drop functionality, allowing users to build professional-looking websites without the need for specialized expertise.
3. Seamless Integration: Typof seamlessly integrates with popular e-commerce marketplaces, payment gateways, shipping providers, and other third-party services, enabling users to streamline their operations and expand their reach across multiple channels.
4. Focus on User Empowerment: The platform provides users with the tools, resources, and support they need to take control of their online presence and drive success on their own terms.
5. Affordability and Value: Typof offers competitive pricing plans and transparent billing structures, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes.
More than 80% are women entrepreneurs who are building their own websites and selling to the global market through their websites. Typof focuses on empowering more such women entrepreneurs who want to build and grow their businesses.
