Episode 11: How a Bangladeshi startup took on Uber and became a market leader

 

In this episode we are excited to welcome Elius Hussain, co-founder and former CEO of Pathao, a Bangladeshi super app that offers ride-sharing, food delivery, and content streaming, among other services. In our conversation Elius shares more about the Bangladeshi market, the importance of building a solid local team that knows the market better than HQ does and empowering them to make important decisions, and how to think global day one, purposely building the company to work in multiple markets and transcend borders.
