PriyoShop, Bangladesh's leading B2B marketplace, celebrated its Foundation Day on February 7, 2026, marking a milestone journey of transformation and growth in the country's retail sector.
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 the 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 organization that creates solutions across retail empowerment, sustainable energy, and services", said Asikul Alam Khan, CEO and Founder of PriyoShop."
Under the visionary leadership of Founder Asikul Alam Khan and Co-founder Dipty Mandal, PriyoShop has transformed Bangladesh's fragmented retail system into a more connected and self-reliant economy. Despite navigating through challenging business cycles and the global pandemic, the company has emerged stronger and more resilient.
Today, 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.
A cornerstone of PriyoShop's impact has been its pioneering credit scoring solutions developed in partnership with leading banks. Through this initiative, 10,000 previously underserved MSMEs have gained access to credit cards, empowering retailers to secure loans within 10 minutes directly from their shops. This breakthrough addresses a critical gap in financial inclusion for small businesses nationwide.
Beyond financial innovation, PriyoShop has woven sustainability into its operations, achieving measurable reductions in its carbon footprint. The company's commitment to both impact and excellence has earned international recognition on prestigious platforms, including Startup Wheel 2024, The Asia Accelerator, Startup World Cup, Echelon Asia Summit 2023, and TECHINASIA, proudly representing Bangladesh on the global stage. These achievements culminated in receiving the distinguished ICT Award in 2025, alongside numerous other accolades that mark PriyoShop's journey of transforming retail and empowering communities.
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."
The Foundation Day event was held at PriyoShop's headquarter with hundreds of employees in attendance, featuring congratulatory messages from senior leadership, presentations on the company's 2025 achievements and future vision for the year 2026.
