CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, GENERAL MANAGER & FOUNDING MEMBER
"In this new era, just keeping up with speed is not enough; we must rewrite the rules of the game with fairer, stronger, and more efficient systems."
Dear Business Partners, Entrepreneurs, and Users,
The world is going through a global transformation process where the traditional boundaries of trade have completely dissolved and digital muscles shape physical markets from top to bottom. In this new era, just keeping up with speed is not enough; we must rewrite the rules of the game with fairer, stronger, and more efficient systems.
heppbi.com, which we founded with the founding will of Karat Group of Companies and the unwavering belief of our visionary partners Ender Iyigul and Handan Iyigul, is the clearest reflection of this visionary insight and determination to shape the future.
When establishing heppbi.com, we aimed not to build a replica of existing alternatives in the market, but to bring a brand-new breath to C2C and C2B e-commerce models at global standards. Today, we present our global experience, gained in international platforms such as the American-Turkish Business Development Council and macro-level commercial business development processes, to Turkey's digital market ecosystem as a completely national technology power.
Heppbi is not an ordinary interface that merely brings buyers and sellers together. It is an integrated trade hub fortified with the backing of our holding, an end-to-end digital security architecture, and the limitless micro-logistics power of Hey Kurye, which is the most strategic pillar of our ecosystem. This vertical integration, protecting the seller's rights while providing the buyer with the highest level of speed and transparency, is the greatest innovation we present to the global trade market.
Our goal is clear: To build a digital corridor that will carry Turkey's local production and entrepreneurship potential beyond borders. Every partner walking with us becomes a shareholder not just in a digital store, but in the global trade infrastructure of the future. By making innovation our corporate memory, we will continue to build a fairer and stronger e-commerce world together.
Mertcan SEVENChairman of the Board, General Manager & Founding Member
Born on October 2, 1994, in Ankara, Mertcan Seven completed a portion of his primary education in Antalya, then continued his middle and high school education in Ankara. He successfully completed his higher education in the Nazilli district of Aydin.
Entering business life at an early age by apprenticing at his father's company in Ankara, Seven had the opportunity to deeply experience the basic dynamics of trade and field operations during this process. Following his university education, he took his first independent commercial step in Konya with an entrepreneurial vision and founded the "Kumrix Cafe" firm, operating in the cafe sector.
Successfully growing and transferring this venture, Mertcan Seven then established a strategic partnership with his business partner Ender Iyigul. Signing innovative trade and investment projects in different sectors together, the duo decided to institutionalize this strong synergy and founded the Karat Group of Companies. Mertcan Seven continues to lead the strategic growth and investment processes as the Chairman of the Board of Karat Group of Companies.
OUR JOURNEY OF DEVELOPMENT
Milestones
Stage 1
Reel Sanayi & Finansal Omurga
The first major milestone of our holding is the strong steps taken in traditional manufacturing. The massive production capacity established in packaging and industrial paper laid the financial engineering foundations of our group and has been the main driver of our future technology initiatives.

Stage 2
Physical Space Management & Foreign Trade
Following the stable power gained in manufacturing, the phase of adding value to the physical environment and living spaces was entered. While physical space management was consolidated through large-scale qualified construction projects, macro landscape design and global botanical foreign trade networks were integrated into the holding ecosystem.
