The e-commerce platform GiriToday, which launched in Nigeria, aims to connect African sellers with global customers.
The platform’s founder and CEO, Wale Ayantoye, stated that artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are used on the platform, allowing sellers to trade seamlessly, quickly, efficiently, and securely.
Ayantoye also mentioned that the platform provides sellers with the opportunity to showcase their creativity and build a global presence.
“We understand what people are looking for in Africa… Our goal is to give people the opportunity to list their products free of charge and connect with global buyers,” he said.
“GiriToday is about empowering African artisans and entrepreneurs. With this platform, sellers from Lagos to Accra can directly connect with buyers in the U.S., Canada, or Europe, earning fairly and on time,” Ayantoye emphasized.
Additionally, GiriToday’s co-founder Ajiboye made the following statement about the platform:
“This platform isn’t just a marketplace. It’s a culturally rich hub that brings Africa’s unique heritage to the world. From custom-tailored clothing to handcrafted goods, buyers can interact with artisans in an entirely new way, supported by features like body imaging and virtual reality.”
