BRAC Bank to host fair to promote women entrepreneurs

BRAC Bank will host 'TARA Uddokta Mela 2026' to promote locally-made products by women entrepreneurs and create a market for these products.

The fair will take place from February 27 to March 1 every day from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm at Aloki Convention Centre on Tejgaon-Gulshan Link Road in Dhaka, according to a press release.

Following the success of previous editions, this marks the fourth edition of TARA Uddokta Mela, where a total of 88 women entrepreneurs from across Bangladesh will participate showcasing a wide range of locally-crafted products.

As in previous years, BRAC Bank is providing stall facilities free of charge, enabling participants to present their products and expand their market reach.

The exhibition features an extensive collection of Bangladeshi products, including boutique and hand-stitched apparel, handmade crafts, clay and jute items, leather goods, Jamdani and Muslin attire, organic skincare products, bamboo and rattan items, and a variety of traditional foods.

Visitors can also enjoy dedicated Iftar and dinner food courts, alongside cultural attractions such as Hawai Mithai and bioscope, creating a festive and engaging environment ahead of Eid.

Customers will also enjoy discounts up to 20 per cent on purchases made through QR payments during the fair.
