I am building Akariq which provides data eSIM data plans to 185+ countries and regions across the world. I am 2-3x cheaper than big brands in the same space. I also prefer local data routing i.e. I don't route traffic from US or EU to Hong Kong, they stay in your country / region.

Just curious, I have no idea how eSIM reselling business works: How can you offer 2-3x cheaper prices? Is it because others have very high margins, or because you have a secret optimisation method?

Great question. Cheaper prices come from a mix of focus on customer value primarily. That includes making sure that the eSIM is high quality (low latency, data routing in the region) and also focusing on getting the best eSIM plan to the customer - transparency, better FUP etc. So there's an element of optimisation involved here.
