Empowering Sellers.
Benefiting Buyers.
Welcome to Open Stores® — a marketplace built with a vision to support both sellers and buyers through fairness, transparency, and opportunity.
The Vision Behind Open Stores
A Message from Jaganmohan Krishnamoorthy, Founder
An IT professional with more than 25 years of experience working across various corporate sectors and technology environments. Over the years, I have witnessed how digital platforms transformed businesses and consumer behavior.
While technology created convenience, it also created challenges for small and medium sellers. Many people know about Open Source — technology that is freely available to the public and built to empower innovation. Inspired by the same philosophy of openness and accessibility, the idea of Open Stores was born.
Our Core Philosophy
Inspired by the **Open Source** movement, we believe that technology should empower people, not exploit them.
Open Access
Removing barriers for small sellers to enter the digital economy without high entry costs.
Transparency
Clear pricing for buyers and zero hidden advertisement fees for sellers.
Fairness
A balanced ecosystem where innovation and entrepreneurship are rewarded fairly.
The Challenge
Today, many online marketplaces charge sellers very high commissions, advertisement fees, and hidden costs. These expenses are often passed on to the customer, resulting in inflated product prices.
At the same time, large marketplace giants frequently prioritize their own branded products, making independent sellers struggle for visibility and growth.
The Open Stores Movement
Open Stores was created to change that. We are not just another ecommerce platform; we are a movement toward fair digital commerce. We provide a balanced ecosystem where small businesses can compete fairly and communities become stronger.
Open Stores aims to bring together markets from different industries under one open platform — making commerce more accessible and trustworthy.
