NCUI is an apex organization of cooperative movement in India which is responsible for education and training of more than 8.5 lakh Cooperatives in India with a total membership of more than 30 crore people. The ecommerce platform was built on Google Cloud and will provide a scalable technology for economic empowerment of the cooperatives and their members by providing easy access to currently inaccessible buyers.
The platform will help the cooperatives to sell their products across geographies without any intermediaries. The platform will also provide complete training and capacity building support to the cooperatives for onboarding on the portal and in areas of packaging, branding and accessing the welfare schemes of the government.
“Powered by robust and scalable technology, the launch of the E-commerce application will enable cooperatives and their members an easy access to buy and sell their products to buyers across the country,” said Sudhir Mahajan, Chief Executive, NCUI.
“We strongly believe that our partnership will provide NCUI with powerful technology solutions, which will help in the economic growth and empowerment of both the Cooperatives and their members,” said Bikram Singh Bedi, Managing Director, Google Cloud India.
Vina Tech Solutions (Google Cloud partner) worked with NCUI to design and develop the application on Google Cloud platform. NCUI and Google Cloud aim to expand this pilot project to other geographies soon.
