Gamelist is a location based gaming community platform.

Inpsired by GoodReads, AirBnB and OLX.

Problem - Gamer

• Games are expensive. Especially for the users in developing countries.
• General platforms like OLX are too crowded with all sorts of unwanted ads from other categories.
• Gamers find it hard to shuffle between different Whatsapp and Facebook groups to find ads from other gamers.
• Similarly, they find it hard to find potential shared buyers for games.
• E-Commerce solutions like Daraz and Telemart are again too general and too cluttered with unwanted ads for gamers.

Problem - Retailer

• Has to rely on customers visiting physical stores, or orders coming from Facebook or Whatsapp.
• Can't afford to spend a lot of money to create online presence.
• Can't afford to spend significant time to increase social media engagement, nor have the skills to do so.
• Can't afford to have an inventory software/payment solution or scared of overhead of operating a complex software.
• Don't want the overhead of hiring/retaining delivery guys for a mere small number of deliveries.

Problem - Distributor

• Has to rely on retailers visiting physical offices, or inquiries coming from known circle of retailers.
• Can't afford to spend a lot of money to create online presence.
• Can't afford to spend significant time to increase social media engagement, nor have the skills to do so.
• Can't afford to have an inventory software/payment solution or scared of overhead of operating a complex software.
