It has since grown into a nationwide platform with multiple distribution hubs and 28 active warehouses. Chaldal is notable for its significant investment in technology.

Some firms are even experimenting with electric vehicles and eco-friendly packaging, thanks to growing demand and investor support. For consumers, this means easier ordering and consistent experience. For sellers—especially small and Facebook-based shops—it offers a chance to reach customers beyond their locality.
