Micro-Entrepreneurs in Rural Areas – Boxop

Boxop Solutions intends to identify and develop Micro-Entrepreneurs in the under-privileged and Rural areas who will in turn percolate the Digital Services in their neighbourhoods.

Through this model, Boxop is exploring to overcome some of the hurdles

faced in the expansion of digital services across the Rural areas.

Smartphone penetration in Rural India is still low, only under 25%, as per IAMAI

1 in 5 of the Global unbanked population is from India

Rural areas will drive the next phase of growth in Internet usage, as per IMAI-IMRB.

70% of Internet users in Rural India use them mainly for Social network websites (as per study done by BCG)

BCG study reveals, almost 40% of Rural consumers feel that their personal information is under risk, while 30% believe that products sold online are of poor quality and 25% find e-commerce sites and apps hard to use

Of the 432 Mn Internet users as of Dec. 2016, 62% is from Urban locales and only 28% are from Rural

Hence, Digital penetration in the Rural segment needs a catalyst;

that’s where the application/services of Boxop Solutions fits in.

Our Solution

Boxop identifies, appoints and trains Micro-Entrepreneurs in every Rural locations- we would love to call them “boxopreneurs”

The boxopreneurs will have an opportunity to earn income as commission from sale of these services through Boxop.

They will percolate the Digital Services across their neighbourhoods, through the application Boxop- which is an online Service Aggregator of Retail Services (both Private and Public).

These boxopreneurs can be kirana store owners, housewives, Small Business owners, Social organisations, NGOs and in fact anyone who’d like to take this business as means for gaining Digital Literacy.

Plans are to identify boxopreneurs across States were the Digital penetration is identified as very low, mostly in the under-privileged and Rural Areas.
