Rachid Abdelkrim

Founder of Online Shopping Centre OSC

Rachid Abdelkrim founded his first company, OSC, in 2020. This company allows customers to order anything in their area. For example, if they choose McDonald's, they can order what they like, and the order will go to the delivery driver, not McDonald's. The delivery driver will receive the order, go to McDonald's, order the items the customer wants, and pay using the banking system on the OSC app, with touchless payment through their phone (contactless payment method). Afterward, the driver will deliver the order to the customer.

The second business is about transport, called Oyster App. This app allows customers to top up their travel app, choose the option they prefer, and then use the app on their phone to access the train or bus. It is similar to the Ile-de-France mobility system. Rachid founded this idea in 2023 before the Ile-de-France system was approved and implemented. However, since ideas cannot be protected, he was unable to safeguard his concept. People have since embraced the Ile-de-France mobility system, which is why he believes the same success will follow if he is allowed to launch this business in other parts of the world.

The final business is about item delivery. Many people travel around Europe by car and would like to earn extra money during their travels. Others want to send parcels in an affordable way. Rachid believes that by creating an app that allows customers to send parcels with travelers heading to the same destination within the EU or US, he can help many people who are struggling financially.
