STORY
How Trexity started.
Founder Alok was taking time away from his high-paced job at Shopify to embark on a challenging new role: full time dad. At the same time, regrettably, his father became ill and required his support too. It was in juggling these roles that Alok came to appreciate the preciousness of his spare time, and the profound need for better delivery services from his local small businesses.
Between his kids and his dad, it simply wasn’t possible to go out and get everything from groceries to medical supplies. He began imagining a platform that could make it possible for any small business to deliver local, and fast. One that is fair, and takes advantage of neither merchants or couriers. He believed then, and still does, that filling this need will help disrupt our over-reliance on faraway ecommerce giants, and help small businesses stay in business.
It’s been important to provide a last mile delivery option, which we never would’ve envisioned being this easy.
