Abstract |
|
The growing emphasis on supporting local businesses and artisans has increased the demand for high- quality, culturally rooted products. However, small vendors in Satara struggle with digital marketplace access, limiting their reach. LocalHub is an Android-based e-commerce platform designed to showcase and sell locally produced goods, including textiles, handcrafted candles, incense sticks, spices, and pickles. The platform enhances digital inclusion, preserves regional craftsmanship, and promotes Maharashtra's cultural heritage. Vendors can list products, manage inventory, and engage with customers without technical expertise. Consumers gain direct access to authentic, locally- made products, fostering regional economic growth. Beyond e-commerce, LocalHub drives community-driven development, sustainable business practices, and digital empowerment for small-scale vendors. |
