Connections2Communities (C2C) is pleased to welcome the Royal India Restaurant to the Mall of Things.

Mutumwa Mawere, 24/12/2020

The Royal India Restaurant, a paid up member of C2C Business, was yesterday inducted into the Mall of Things, a wholesale e-commerce platform for members to promote and sell their products and other solutions.

C2C is an initiative of the members of the 1873 Network which is meant to provide a borderless and convenient bridge between the supply side and demand side of human transactions,

At any transaction point, there are always two parties i.e. a buyer and a seller.

Through the C2C corporate literacy initiative, we learn that commerce involves an exchange of value that intrinsically means a meeting place for holders of goods and services of value who voluntarily are willing and able to give up something to gain something of value.

The Mall of Things is the digital version of a physical shopping mall that bridges sellers who are housed as a community being the second C to the C2C idea that speaks to the imperative of building community power that informs the initiative.

“It doesn’t matter what skin color you belong to because value is what drives human ecosystems. I believe that value-centricity must be celebrated because it best secured economic fairness in commerce.

I joined C2C simply because I am in the peoples’ business and the first lesson I have learned as member is that volume matters and economies of scale delivers least cost solutions.

Accordingly, the decision to be part of the community of suppliers on the Mall of Things e-mart platform was an easy one informed by self-interest.

We as The Royal India Restaurant have our own online e-commerce presence but we have also recognized that the C2C idea provides us with a better mechanism to extend our reach and impact.

You can reach us through a shared client acquisition that is inclusive and speaks to group-based ideal which accelerates, optimizes and aggregates people that share the belief that working together as suppliers is not prejudicial to the customer in whose interests business exists.

Customer sovereignty is a key consideration to us as suppliers in the value chain involving multiple partners who are independent business correspondents (IBC) to serve a buyer,” said Mr. JJ Singh, a member of the C2C initiative and CEO of the Royal India Restaurant.

Mr. Mawere, Chairman of the 1873 Network said: “I am pleased to welcome the The Royal India Restaurant which is based in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa to this initiative meant to build a shared home where suppliers and customers can intersect digitally to deliver an efficient and least cost ecosystem.

Now people can build a shop in a community with a shared gateway in terms of payments as independent members just like gated communities in respect of human settlements and shopping malls.

The Mall of Things is a consolidator and the impact of consolidation on cost, convenience and efficiency cannot be overstated.

I am pleased on behalf of the Banking on Africa’s Future (BOAF) – 10000 Points of Light (POL) Initiative to build a pilot home of 10000 suppliers in the first year of existence of The Mall of Things that knows no physical borders.

We are connected digitally and the Covid 19 pandemic has opened our eyes to the imperative of converting connections to communities (C2C).

All that is required is for a vendor of tomatoes, for example, who is connected and a digital citizen and who wishes to be known faster, is to register on the portal www.mallofthings.com.

When you do this, you will be part of this growing community of people who are forward leaning and share a belief that the best days are yet to come when choices to belong are made voluntarily out of self-interest.”

Mr. Lovemore Chanegeta, also a paid up member of C2C who is the founder and developer of The Mall of Things and other related internet of things (IOT) said: “Innovation aimed at problem solving in a community-centric manner is the best expression of our belief that connected people need the tools and solutions that support the exchange of value in loops of actors on a mutually beneficial basis.

I am pleased that we are the drivers of this important addition and active players in the War Against COVID (COD) that we are leading as part of the 1873 Network which promotes the idea that we can think globally and yet compelled to efficiently solve problems in a community.

We have many jockeys that are in our control and have been tried and tested that are in operation that speak to our motto that life offers space and time to connect, share and inspire.” For more information on The Royal India Restaurant please visit: https://mallofthings.com/home/vendor_profile/26/The-Royal-India
