BOLX team is driven by a simple mission- Every small city and town should have their own electronic platform for their local economy. Amazon, Uber, UrbanClap etc can not solve small town e-commerce problems. The fact that all unicorn commerce companies are only focused in top 40 cities in India (after 10+ years) shows that how there is a clear need of local market place - which has "local"​ consumers and producers. Based in Dehradun & Gurgaon, India, BOLX was founded by a high performance team comprising of Duke University alumnus. The company’s award-winning, distinguished management team retains years of combined experience working with a multitude of industry-defining organisations including IBM, Cisco Systems, HPE and DELL etc. BOLX has patent pending proven technology which provides brings a town online without trying to change the economy of the town. BOLX has following products - Bol Apps (Example: Bol Roorkee - App for Roorkee). Bol Prime - Amazon Prime type services for small towns. Bol Money - Payment and wallet solution for small town.
