LEO Network is the newest entrant in the e-commerce arena. And it aims to bridge the gap between sellers and buyers by enabling live video streaming. Founded by five young minds, amidst the pandemic in 2020, LEO Network focuses on serving its customers and merchants equally with a varied set of features. The world can now enjoy the LEO experience by visiting its website or by downloading the app on their smartphones.It aims to be the platform for sellers and buyers to interact and shop. With a digital storefront, a virtual equivalent of the physical store, the platform helps small/medium-sized businesses become brands. Along with products showcasing, the merchants get to share their stories with people. Humans have always bonded over stories. LEO hopes that stories will help build a new community.For customers, LEO assures complete transparency. One is informed about where the product is coming from, who is making it, how it will reach them and when. Everyone to build real connections here. Given the transactional nature of e-commerce, LEO Network aims to add a human touch to shopping, virtually. Buyers and sellers could sell or buy high-quality products from remote villages or big cities. From handloom to trendy outfits, one can find everything here. The company is run by two brothers, and IIT-Roorkee alumni, CEO Saurabh Gupta and COO Shivam Gupta.Saurabh says, “As the pandemic forced everyone to stay boxed at home, we thought of doing something out of the box. Malls aren’t reachable to all and shops might not be open anytime. People are realising the need for human connection. So, we decided to do something without compromising on anyone’s safety. People deserve a community, where they can explore, socialise and interact. LEO Network comes in to fill that gap. With LEO, we want to introduce ‘shopping with entertainment’. Here, you can shop, be entertained or start engaging. We’re not just aiming at commerce, we’re aiming to be ‘social' first.”
