PriyoShop's Founding Day celebrated

PriyoShop, Bangladesh's leading B2B marketplace, celebrated its Founding Day on Saturday, marking a milestone journey of transformation and growth in the country's retail sector.

The Founding Day event was held at the PriyoShop's head office with hundreds of employees, says a press release.

Founded in 2013 during the height of Bangladesh's digital revolution, PriyoShop initially served end consumers before pivoting into a dedicated B2B distribution platform. This strategic shift was driven by a singular mission: to empower 5 million micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across Bangladesh.

"We pivoted as the B2B Marketplace and smart distribution platform because we noticed from earlier that although they are serving the neighborhood consistently, these 5 million retailers are underserved. They were suffering fragmented supply chain, a distorted delivery system, zero credit scoring facilities and a lack of brand connectivity. Seeing all these firsthand, we created a mission to simplify the ecosystem, and so far, we have grown into an organisation that creates solutions across retail empowerment, sustainable energy, and services", said Asikul Alam Khan, CEO and Founder of PriyoShop."

PriyoShop operates across 16 districts with 40 hubs covering 1,428 routes and employs over 1,600+ people. The platform serves nearly 200,000 MSMEs, and has partnered with 288+ brands to bring quality products directly to neighborhood retailers.

Dipty Mandal, Co-founder and CMO, reflected on the journey: "As we celebrate today, let us remember that our story is far from complete. It is written daily by every effort, every idea, every act of integrity, and every commitment to excellence. Thank you for being part of this shared journey."
