It enables businesses to discover, contract, collaborate, and pay influencers who market and sell for them at scale. Today, 50,000+ influencers and businesses across 250+ cities are on Walee.pk.
Encore Pay is a fintech startup, which provides a digital payments platform to financial institutions, including banks, telecoms, and payment networks.
SE Drop (Save Every Drop) offers two product lines – wastewater recycling systems to deal with water scarcity; and natural, alcohol, and chemical-free disinfectants.
All three startups have gained significant public traction . Walee.pk is in discussions with major global and regional brands, PR, social and digital agencies to implement scalable solutions for a 2021 while rolling out via www.walee.ae.
