 Syed Mostahidal Hoq, Managing Director, Daraz Bangladesh, said, “With over 50 thousand seller partners, I believe that we have expanded the horizon for e-commerce ventures across the country and enabled businesses with the facilities required to maintain operations amid transforming consumer behaviors in transforming society. The acquisition by Alibaba played a major role behind this strength of ours.”
