Pathao Raised About 2 Billion Investment Bangladeshi company Pathao recently raised $12 million (Rs 1.6 billion) in investment. The company has raised an investment equal to that amount under pre-series funding round B.
It is said that this is the largest amount collected by a pre-series B startup in Bangladesh. The company issued a statement about this. According to this, Pathao has become a company worth 50 million dollars (about a billion rupees). It is said that this will greatly help Pathao to expand its business towards fintech.
