Manish Chowdhary is the Founder & CEO of Cahoot. Cahoot is the world’s first and only peer-to-peer shipping network. Cahoot’s innovative shipping network taps an alliance of top-rated merchants to fulfill orders (for each other) faster and at lower cost than anything else out there. Cahoot uses co-opetition as the underlying business strategy to solve the difficult problem of how to pay for the high cost of free and fast shipping. Even the largest sellers are struggling with this problem today. Leveraging strategic co-opetition, Cahoot moves the players to a plus-sum game, a scenario in which the end-result is more profitable when the competitors work together. The result: merchants save up to 40% on their shipping costs and the orders are delivered up to 2 days faster. And, smarter routing reduces the carbon footprint on every order optimized through Cahoot.
