In the past fiscal year, ShopUp’s revenue surged to $129 million from $83 million, while turning the leaf on positive gross margin, demonstrating robust growth and a commitment to facilitating commerce across Bangladesh. This achievement highlights the company’s approach to addressing the challenges of connecting brands to end consumers in one of the world’s most fragmented retail markets.

ShopUp’s CFO, Vashistha Maheshwari, highlighted the company’s journey towards sustainable growth and profitability. “Our focus on positive unit economics has led to gross margin positivity and reduction in our adjusted losses for FY ending June 2023. Continuing that momentum, we have turned monthly EBITDA positive in December 2023. This success highlights our unique go-to-market strategy and dedication to transforming commerce for SMEs,” said Maheshwari.

ShopUp has introduced a new model of commerce that integrates embedded financing, payment processing, and logistics. This model connects mills, brands, and manufacturers with an extensive network of small shops through a hub-enabled distribution network. With 427 micro-fulfillment hubs, ShopUp has connected 31 million people in Bangladesh to essential goods, a figure that is nearly double the country’s total e-commerce user base.

As part of its future strategy, ShopUp plans to expand its distribution hub network in Bangladesh to 700 by December 2025, enhancing its market penetration across product categories and the value chain. Looking beyond Bangladesh, ShopUp is set to replicate its successful model in other emerging markets, particularly within the Gulf region. “SMEs are the cornerstone of economic prosperity in these regions, and our aim is to empower them, driving growth and creating value across emerging markets,” said Afeef Zaman, Founder & CEO of ShopUp.

Head of Transparency Thailand Foundation supports the Thai government in reforming the justice system and regulatory guillotine to completely eradicate corruption


BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 May 2024 – The Head of Transparency Thailand Foundation (TTF) points out Thailand must reform the justice system and improve outdated or obstructive laws, while also reducing the use of discretion by the government sector to counter corruption. She also suggests that “NACC and Thai people” stop paying much concern to the results of the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), unveiling that an organizer has some limitations in scoring.

In an exclusive interview with the Integrity Way, a team of the Office of Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) in recent days, Mrs. Juree Vichit-Vadakan, Chairperson of Transparency Thailand Foundation highlights that corruption problems have affected the development of each country in particularly on the economic sector. Obviously, it has been seen in the investment sector as investors will consider how easy or difficult it is to do business in that country based on a chance for corruption. Investors will consider whether they need to pay a bribe or not. If it is found that a country has complicated regulations and each agency can ask for bribes, it will become a hidden cost. Those are considered crucial reasons for whether or not they should invest in each country.

Chairperson of the Transparency Thailand Foundation elaborates that when focusing on the corruption situation in Thailand on prevention and suppression, there are more efforts to help lessen the problem. For example, during the past several years the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) demonstrated good performance in counter-corruption efforts. However, the general public may not be aware of the in-depth information. Yet, people who had followed the movements could acknowledge those attempts. In the case of the Comptroller General’s Department conducting the Integrity Pact (IP) project and the Public Construction Transparency Project (CoST), both of these tools can prevent corruption and save the national budget by more than 100 billion baht. But we must admit that there are still some people who look for loopholes in the system to commit corruption. However, the right solution is efficient law enforcement.

Mrs. Juree added that if considering Thailand’s anti-corruption mechanism, whether it is an organization or a law, Thailand has more than other countries. Therefore, the point is not to create more laws or regulations. Yet, the problems are the functioning of the bureaucracy, the efficiency of law enforcement, trial, and judgment of punishment, which need to be done at an appropriate time. Each corruption case should not be delayed in ruling; otherwise, people will totally ignore and forget. Moreover, there must be a law reformation of the Regulatory Guillotine in order to repeal or improve laws or regulations that are no longer necessary or inconsistent with the circumstances or that are an obstacle in contacting government agencies, while also Thailand should diminish the use of discretion by civil servants. All of these mentions require a reformation. Nevertheless, those problems have also been seen in many countries, not only in Thailand.

“If looking from the past until the present, people in this generation are more aware of corruption problems. People in the past may not understand clearly ‘Conflict of Interest’. Nowadays, they are better understood about Conflict of Interest. People also talk about the transparency of projects in the area. For instance, the “Growing Good” project has made people more aware of anti-corruption. People are currently focusing more on creating awareness among children and youth,” the chairperson of the Transparency Thailand Foundation explains.

She also says about Thailand’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) that for many years, the CPI index has been released and has embarrassed Thailand compared with other nations. Since the Transparency Thailand Foundation has worked with Transparency International (TI), the foundation has learned that there are many steps in conducting a Corruption Perception Index. One important step is the answer from a person that TI has assigned to be responsible for that country. Therefore, the answer may be inaccurate from reality for various reasons.

Those reasons are such limitations on inaccessibility of information, and failure to understand the context of Thai society and Thai politics. Westerners may think that rights and freedoms can only occur in an elected government. The military government must be corrupted. However, the surveyors were not aware that the Thai military government had initiated the Integrity Pact and Transparency Project in public sector construction, which helped save a high amount of the national budget. This performance may not be aware among foreigners, but most Thai people also do not acknowledge this effort. In addition, the Thai media does not pay much attention to positive stories or they may report about that news but people do not pay much attention, unlike bad or criminal news. The more scandalous the news is, the news reports will be presented for several days as people like that kind of news. Unfortunately, people do not like much about good news. Good news will appear only once time and then totally disappear.

“If I were a NACC officer, I would not pay too much attention to the CPI index. Thailand should not be concerned much about the score. However, Thai people seem to attach great importance to it, even though it has many limitations. The NACC, Thailand, and those involved in the government should focus on doing their work effectively and have the courage to announce on the global stage about their successful projects and implementation in counter corruption to create greater awareness among foreigners,” she ends the interview with support to NACC, Thailand in fighting against corruption.

World Brand Moganshan Conference opens, sharing recipe for forging lasting brand

DEQING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 May 2024 – The 2024 World Brand Moganshan Conference (WBS) kicked off on May 10 in the picturesque town of Moganshan, located in Deqing County, eastern China’s Zhejiang Province, as the country celebrates the 8th China Brand Day.

Similar to the annual winter gathering of global leaders and elites in Davos, Switzerland, more than 4,000 participants from renowned companies around the world, as well as representatives from governments, international media, global academic institutions, and industry associations, have converged in the renowned destination of Moganshan, renowned for its legendary sword-making heritage. Together, they are exploring the path to brand development.

As a significant driving force in promoting the cultivation of a brand powerhouse, WBS was initiated in 2023 by Xinhua News Agency, China Council for Brand Development, as well as various partners including Zhejiang Province, Huzhou City and Deqing County.

The conference has established an international, authoritative, and professional platform for exploring the historical development patterns of global brands, analyzing the current development trends in the field, and envisioning the future of global brand development. WBS holds a position of great influence as one of China’s most significant events centered around brand development.

Under the theme “Brands Bring Better Future for the World,” this year’s conference will encompass a comprehensive program of over 40 main activities and several supporting events, spanning across three days. In addition to renowned Chinese and global brands showcasing and promoting their products in Moganshan, the conference has also attracted participation from more than one-third of China’s provincial-level regions, which seek to present their unique attributes and expand their cooperation networks through various means.

This year’s WBS maintains its focus on China, while also emphasizing a global perspective. The diverse range of activities align with current trends and incorporate a global vision. The conference serves as a platform for communication and cooperation between Chinese and foreign brands.

At the opening ceremony and main forum, Joe Weinman, a 5G digital transformation strategist who proposed Cloudonomics, delivered a public lecture on global brand strategy in the age of artificial intelligence.

A series of international events, including an exchange event at lawn between Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs, a forum on the world’s Top 500 brand development, a forum on international branding, and a think tank forum on global brand innovation and development, feature global brand topics. These events will analyze the driving role of cultural elements from different countries and regions in the growth of corporate brands, and explore effective strategies for cross-cultural brand communication.

During the conference, the 2024 China Brand Value Information and various rankings will be released, including the unveiling of the brand cases of sponsors and local governments, aiming to establish an authoritative release system in global brand development.

The event has assembled a distinguished gathering of domestic and international experts, scholars, and renowned entrepreneurs who will actively participate in discussions and share their insights on a wide range of topics.

These discussions will delve into the shared characteristics that contribute to the success of global brands, the cultural influences propelling the growth of such brands, and the essential principles that ensure the long-term viability of global brands. This diverse array of intellectual discussions will offer a rich and stimulating exploration of brand development.

“Think globally and aim for building a world-renowned brand,” said Nan Cunhui, board chairman of Zhejiang-based CHINT Group Co., Ltd.

From its humble beginnings as a family workshop with only 8 employees, to its current presence in over 140 countries and regions, CHINT Group Co., Ltd., founded in 1984, has evolved into a globally renowned provider of smart energy system solutions.

According to Nan, companies must place reliance on technological innovation and foster a sense of craftsmanship in order to enhance product quality and brand value. Simultaneously, it is crucial to consistently broaden the global perspective, reinforce the scope and depth of corporate globalization, and, as a result, augment international influence.

Brand building is a top priority on China’s agenda, serving as a strong driver for the country’s pursuit of high-quality development, the creation of a high-quality life, and the enhancement of communication and cooperation with the world.

Since 2017, May 10 has been designated as China Brand Day, with WBS emerging as one of the flagship events of this occasion. It is anticipated that Moganshan Town will evolve into the “Davos” of the global branding industry.

According to the official plan, China aims to establish a comprehensive brand system by 2035. This system will encompass numerous corporate, industrial, and regional brands that are recognized for their exceptional quality, notable advantages, and independent intellectual property rights.

This brand system will be strategically positioned, highly competitive, and imbued with vitality, propelling China’s overall brand strength to a prominent global position. It will contribute to meeting the increasing aspirations of the population for an improved quality of life.
