ARRHIA — COMPANY FACT SHEET
Prepared: 2026-11-01

ARRHIA connects people with shops, food, services and property in one marketplace. Discover a business, explore what it offers, and take the next step that suits you.

OUR STORY
ARRHIA takes its name from AHIA, meaning market. The idea began while founder Justice C. Igwe was developing an application for a client. Seeing how much further its capabilities could extend sparked a question: could online commerce offer more of the discovery, interaction and sense of place people experience in a physical market?

That question became the foundation of ARRHIA, founded in 2026. The vision is to give people somewhere to explore businesses, discover products and services, meet sellers and move between shops with the curiosity of someone walking through a real market.

Market Square is a starting point for discovery. Walk the Market puts businesses and their storefronts at the center, while Market Search helps people find something specific. As the platform grows, so does the ambition: a connected digital market that feels alive, welcoming and full of possibility.

PURPOSE
To help people discover businesses and give business owners practical tools to participate in a connected market.
