Pathao has been named to Forbes Asia's "100 to Watch 2025," a list that spotlights the most promising and dynamic companies shaping the future of the Asia-Pacific region. This recognition comes at a special moment for us, as we prepare to celebrate our 10-year anniversary this October, says the company in a press release.
From the very beginning in 2015, when we started out as a small delivery venture, our mission has been to move people forward. In just a decade, that mission has grown into something much bigger. Today, Pathao connects millions across Bangladesh and Nepal through rides, food delivery, courier services, and financial solutions that empower people to live with greater ease and freedom. Along the way, we have served over 10 million users and created earning opportunities for 500,000 people, which is a huge impact that continues to inspire our journey.
For us, technology has never just been about apps or algorithms. It has always been about people. The people who rely on us to reach their destinations on time.
The delivery agents who earn a dignified livelihood. The merchants who grow their businesses with us. The users who experience convenience, more accessibility, and more possibilities every day. Forbes' recognition is not only a celebration of our innovation, it is also a reflection of the resilience, ambition, and spirit of the Bangladeshi startup ecosystem.
