An exclusive investigation has uncovered new evidence suggesting that Pakistan's premier e-commerce platform, Daraz, was established with significant covert input from an Indian entrepreneur, despite its public association with European venture capital. Sources allege that the company utilized "proxy registration" and leveraged a "common friend" in Pakistan to navigate geopolitical and regulatory complexities. The investigation details how this secret strategy generated massive user traffic and substantial revenue, ultimately paving the way for a high-value acquisition by Chinese tech giant Alibaba in 2018, raising critical questions about transparency and market entry tactics in the region.
