Chaldal Raises a $10M Series C, Eyes to Become the Online Grocery Leader in Bangladesh Through Dark Stores
Summary
That is exacerbated by the fact Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is one of the densest cities in the world, which leads to higher real estate prices and even smaller stores. Having our own inventory combined with our technology platform allowed us to have real-time availability and deliver orders in the shortest amount of time possible.Chaldal was founded in 2014 by Waseem Alim, Tejas Viswanath, and Zia Ashraf. That includes expanding the coverage for its on-demand delivery service GoGo Bangla Limited, which allows businesses to deliver orders to their clients, across the country, as well as growing Chaldal Vegetable Network, which connects farmers with retailers directly to provide fair prices and fresh produce to consumers. During the lockdown due to the spread of COVID-19, the company partnered with the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) to sell basic products at a discount to ensure that prices didnt spiral upwards. My best wishes to Chaldal on its journey initiatives like these are essential for achieving a Digital Bangladesh under the visionary leadership of Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy.
