Vidyodan changes the face of standard retail applications and allows users to communicate directly with merchants through live broadcasts. In the live broadcasts, users can find live answers to their questions about the products directly from the seller. While live broadcasts are made on the platform on average 300 times a month, young people are given a new formation as presenter in these broadcasts.

As Vidyodan, we recorded more than 100 thousand sales in 2022 with more than 3000 live broadcasts. Live broadcasting and video sales allow us to increase sales conversion rates to 10 times the Turkey average. We aim to invest $20 million in our application within two years. In the coming period, we will offer young people and entrepreneurs more opportunities by expanding our digital server network and the number of brands. We aim to triple the number of servers, currently around 100, by the end of 2024 and quadruple the number of entrepreneurial brands. On Vidyodan, which offers surprise opportunities in every live broadcast, our users who closely monitor the live broadcasts can buy their needs with surprising stocks at prices about 80 percent below the market.”
