About
Dastgyr operates a mobile-first wholesale platform where small businesses can order goods from local and international suppliers. The company focuses on emerging markets where traditional retail supply chains are inefficient.

Sales is the largest department with 10 identified staff. The company has a Pakistani talent base despite its London HQ, with 4-year median tenure indicating stable early teams.
