Kaymu.com.bd selling Asia Cup tickets

One of the e-commerce giants, Kaymu.com.bd has added yet another item to their already flourishing list of products on offer. They are now selling tickets for this year's Cricket Asia Cup. There has always been a problem of acquiring tickets in Dhaka. Either you would have to know someone very connected or you would have to wait in line for hours to get yourself some match tickets. To counter this problem, in collaboration with UCB Bank, Kaymu is now selling tickets on their website for the Asia Cup games. 

Kaymu gets an allotment of the tickets from UCB which you can buy directly on their page. After your order is confirmed, you will get an email and text with some simple instructions to go to your nearest ucash agent. Once you pay, Kaymu will confirm your purchase once more with another email and the tickets will be delivered to your address.

The tickets go on sale the day before the actual game. If you order it too late, you can pick up the tickets directly at the stadium. Otherwise, the tickets will be delivered directly to your house. The maximum tickets that you can buy are limited to two per person. This way, one person cannot, for example, buy 20 tickets and then resell them elsewhere. 

Kaymu is one of those companies flourishing under Rocket Internet. Rocket Internet is a German Internet Company in Berlin known for building online startups. Rocket Internet also owns shareholdings in various models of internet retail business. Their mission is to become the world's largest internet platform outside the United States and China. Rocket Internet is particularly interested in South Asia. They have a large portfolio of companies in this whole region. 

Kaymu has a significant presence in Africa and is also quite popular in South-east Asia and the Middle East. Kaymu's goal is to become the leading marketplace in the emerging markets. Kaymu's been in Bangladesh for about two years and is doing well with about fifteen to twenty thousand orders a month.
