PriyoShop, Bangladesh's leading tech-enabled supply chain with fintech platform, has been crowned Champion at the prestigious South Asia ICT Award 2025. The victory comes during Bangladesh's Victory Month, making it a doubly meaningful achievement for the homegrown fintech company. Bangladesh has again gained the global spotlight in Nepal through PriyoShop. This is a proud moment for Bangladesh and the entire startup community.
The win recognizes PriyoShop's work in transforming how small and medium businesses across Bangladesh access products and financial services. Through simple technology, the platform connects thousands of neighborhood retailers directly to suppliers, cutting out middlemen and making business easier for shop owners across the country.
"This award belongs to every small retailer we serve", said PriyoShop's Founder and CEO, Asikul Alam Khan. "They are the real champions. We simply built the tools to help them succeed."
The South Asia ICT Award 2025 was a landmark event for the region's tech ecosystem. With over 1,200 applications received and 750 nominations accepted, the competition featured more than 10 pre-events across South Asia and was evaluated by 18 expert jury members. From the accepted nominations, the top 10 semi-finalists were selected, with the top 6 finalists advanced to compete the Grand Finale. The event showcased cutting-edge innovations from Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Pakistan. From this impressive field, PriyoShop emerged as Champion alongside five other finalists which is a proud moment for Bangladesh's innovation landscape.
PriyoShop empowers micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), the corner shops and small businesses that form the backbone of Bangladesh's economy. The platform provides these entrepreneurs with access to direct supply chains that reduce costs, real-time inventory management, fair pricing, reliable delivery, digital payment options, and financial services.
What started as a solution for local retailers has now gained recognition across South Asia, alongside other global platforms, proving that Bangladeshi innovation can compete and win on the regional stage.
The South Asia ICT Award validates years of hard work and unwavering belief in Bangladesh's potential. It shows that solutions built for local challenges can earn global respect.
"We have been representing Bangladesh throughout 2025, and we are committed to keeping our flag high in 2026 and beyond", the Co-Founder and CMO of PriyoShop, Dipty Mandal, shared. "This championship is proof that when you solve real problems for real people, the impact speaks for itself."
PriyoShop plans to use this momentum to expand its services, helping even more small businesses grow and thrive.
