Pathao, one of the fastest growing tech startups in Asia, has announced the launch of its services in Nepal.
This is the first time that a Bangladeshi ride-sharing platform has launched operations beyond its borders.
Founded in 2015, Pathao has become a popular e-commerce delivery and ride-hailing service—later expanding into the food delivery industry.
"Pathao has built a platform that enables employment for thousands of drivers and a product that millions of customers use in Bangladesh. We are excited to take our Pathao platform internationally - starting with Nepal. We have already started to get riders on board in Nepal, and plan to launch in the next few weeks. The Pathao team is inspired to be #MovingNepal and working closely with the local ecosystem," said Patho CEO Hussain M Elius.
Pathao’s Marketing Lead Sayeda Nabila Mahabub said: “We are excited to announce that Pathao is officially launching in Nepal in a few weeks. The operations have already been set up. Pathao is first launching its bike-hailing service, in Kathmandu. This is a historic event for Bangladesh.”
