What motivated you to start your Business?
People in India do still not believe on Online Shopping so we are continuously enhancing our service to build that level of trusted service so people can easily trade what they need. Idea behind Tradetu came from my past experiences with my colleagues who sometimes wanted to buy or sell their used cars, bikes, mobile phones, music players, home theatres, real estate properties, flats and other stuff but due to low level of trust on available online services stopped them to go there.
