Dec 28, Kathmandu - Nepali startup company Zalient has launched a platform that allows entrepreneurs who want to run an online business to build a free e-commerce website using their own domain. Zalient Shop is aimed at entrepreneurs who are looking to strengthen their presence in the online market but are lagging behind due to technical complexity and high costs.

According to the company's founder and CEO, Raunak Bhattarai, the project was launched with the aim of solving real problems faced by entrepreneurs. Recounting his own experiences running a business, Bhattarai said, "We also had to face various technical and financial challenges while starting our business. We have created this platform so that other entrepreneurs do not have to face the same problems. We believe that this will prove to be a milestone for entrepreneurs who cannot afford the additional costs of building a website."

The company claims that this platform will be very useful, especially for entrepreneurs doing business through social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. Noting that most small business owners are currently managing orders through WhatsApp or Messenger, CEO Bhattarai said that such a manual process would be time-consuming.
