Founded in December 2019, Taager is a social e-commerce marketplace that equips online sellers and traders with a comprehensive suite of backend and integrated services.

Taager leverages technology, AI, and data science to help first-time sellers launch and grow their online businesses with minimal risk. The platform provides a transparent pricing structure and a streamlined product selection process, allowing sellers to focus on business growth while Taager manages end-to-end operations.

We have laid the groundwork to enable us to grow five times within the next few years,” said Mohamed Elhorishy, Co-Founder and CEO of Taager.
