Despite being an e-commerce corporation, Daraz and Foodpanda are

conducting research for in-house grocery items selling in physical stores
employing a variety of cutting-edge technology. As a result, they will be able
to offer both offline and online platforms, which will allow them to serve
more clients.

and evolving segment of the retail landscape, characterized by intense
competition, regulatory complexities, and changing consumer dynamics. By
