Lalamove launches delivery operations in Bangladesh

Lalamove, the leading on-demand delivery platform, has launched operations in Bangladesh with Dhaka city as the first stop.

Lalamove is pleased to grow its global footprint by entering its 11th market, adding to a broad mix of market coverage across Asia and Latin America where its presence plays a key role in connecting and empowering businesses and driver partners in local communities, said a press statement.

Since its inception in Hong Kong in 2013, Lalamove has been unceasingly creating value for its 10 million users and 1.8 million driver partners across more than 30 cities in Asia and Latin America. Owing to its tech-powered quick matching system, the platform is poised to contribute to the logistics ecosystem in Bangladesh by offering individuals and businesses big and small instant, reliable, flexible and affordable delivery solutions anytime, anywhere.

“Approaching our ninth anniversary in October, we are pleased to have arrived in Bangladesh,” said Lalamove Chief Operating Officer Paul Loo. “Our tech-driven on-demand delivery services have contributed greatly to the way businesses improve operational efficiency. In the past two years, our platform has witnessed an impressive 160 per cent increase in total users and doubled the number of the cities we operate in to benefit more users and bring value to local economies.”

“We see promising growth potential and opportunities from Bangladesh. The country’s impressive economic growth is creating abundant opportunities for local small businesses which are the backbone of the economy,” he added.

“With our mission in supporting SMEs and our experience empowering businesses globally, we look forward to replicating the same success we have achieved across the region and create the same benefits for communities in Bangladesh. We hope to be celebrating more milestones in South Asia in the near future.”

Lalamove partners with driver partners in Bangladesh to offer four types of delivery options including motorcycles, cars and 1-ton trucks which are already in service, while CNGs will be available soon. These are conveniently-sized transport modes that are well-suited for timely deliveries in a city comprising dense streets and complex road networks.

By connecting driver partners to delivery needs, Lalamove is unlocking extra and flexible earning opportunities for the local driver community. The platform welcomes driver partners to register and deliver with them.

The Lalamove app is now available for download on the Google Play store and Huawei AppGallery in Bangladesh. Users can place orders for deliveries on the platform starting from Tk 47 for deliveries via motorcycle and Tk 55 for CNG across Dhaka city, Narayanganj and Tongi.
