BeshiDeshi: Not just any E-commerce Platform
BeshiDeshi is more than just an e-commerce platform; it is an ecosystem dedicated to supporting local artisans and empowering underserved communities, particularly women, across Bangladesh. Founded in 2018, BeshiDeshi is on a mission to bridge the gap between grassroots artisans and the global market, promoting "Made in Bangladesh" products that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the country.
Our platform connects skilled artisans—many of whom come from rural, low-income, or marginalized communities—to customers who are looking for authentic, handcrafted products. From home décor and fashion to everyday wearables, each product on BeshiDeshi carries a story of craftsmanship, tradition, and sustainability. We focus heavily on fair trade practices, ensuring that every artisan receives fair compensation for their work, which helps uplift their communities and provide financial security.
Empower Women Entrepreneurs
One of our core goals is to empower women entrepreneurs. In many cases, these women are the backbone of their households, and through BeshiDeshi, they are able to turn their creative talents into sustainable businesses. By offering support in design, product development, training, and financial literacy, we equip them with the skills they need to scale their businesses and reach new markets.
BeshiDeshi also promotes inclusivity, incorporating user feedback to ensure that our products and services are accessible to everyone, regardless of gender or socioeconomic status. We pride ourselves on offering a platform where both artisans and customers can connect, share stories, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Our long-term vision is to become a global sourcing hub for Bangladeshi artisanal products while replicating this business model in other regions where artisans face similar challenges. BeshiDeshi is committed to preserving Bangladesh’s traditional crafts, boosting local economies, and offering customers around the world a unique shopping experience that supports a greater cause.
At its heart, BeshiDeshi is about creating an inclusive, sustainable ecosystem where artisans can thrive and customers can enjoy beautifully crafted, ethical products.
