Priyoshop achieves operational profitability, signals new phase

PriyoShop, Bangladesh's leading B2B retail and embedded finance platform for micro and small businesses, has officially achieved operational profitability as of May 2025, marking a significant milestone in its mission to transform the country's retail supply chain and empower underserved MSMEs.

Founded to address long-standing inefficiencies in the retail ecosystem, PriyoShop has focused on solving challenges such as unreliable inventory access, limited credit availability, and a lack of financial inclusion for small retailers. The platform currently serves over 127,800 active retailers across 96 thanas and 1,176 delivery routes, maintaining a quarter-on-quarter growth rate of 30 percent.

"This milestone is more than just a financial metric—it is a validation of our team's discipline, resilience, and the pressing need for scalable, inclusive retail solutions in emerging markets," said Asikul Alam Khan, Founder and CEO of PriyoShop. "We are not just building a business—we are changing lives through access, empowerment, and technology. And now, we are doing it profitably."

PriyoShop has forged partnerships with over 276 brands, including 189 exclusive relationships, enabling small retailers to access quality inventory, embedded credit, and smart digital tools through a single platform. Its tech-driven, end-to-end distribution model is reshaping last-mile retail across Bangladesh.

The operational profitability milestone positions PriyoShop for a new phase of sustainable growth, with plans to expand its services to new districts and enter additional verticals. The company's ability to scale while maintaining financial discipline reflects a growing maturity in Bangladesh's startup ecosystem, where sustainable unit economics are becoming increasingly critical.

By combining embedded finance with logistics and digital tools, PriyoShop is not only boosting the earning potential of small retailers but also contributing to broader financial inclusion goals in Bangladesh. Its growing network of merchants, suppliers, and credit partners represents a future-ready ecosystem designed to uplift the informal economy.

Asikul added, "Profitability now gives us a stronger platform to double down on innovation, scale responsibly, and increase our impact across more communities."
With this breakthrough, PriyoShop is emerging as one of the most promising startups in South Asia—setting a precedent for inclusive, scalable, and sustainable digital transformation in retail.
