HungryNaki

HungryNaki won the best startup award 2015. It is the most prestigious award of its kind. Every year top newspaper in the country The Daily Star hosts this event to honor people around the country who are working in the tech sector of Bangladesh. It was a very proud moment for us to be the first-ever winner of this prestigious award.

Our operation started on October 1, 2013 with 5 delivery men and 13 restaurants. Back then we only used to cover an area of 5 kilometer radius. On the very first day we received 10 orders. Which was quite amazing for us that time. It really made us believe that we can go very far with HungryNaki.

Around early 2013, a group of common friends decided to create e-commerce. The founders gathered around during an eCommerce week organized by “Basis”. Among the many hardships was one that leads them to hunger, and these meetings had to come to a halt for going out to bring food. The meetings were mostly related to the textile and fashion industry, an e-commerce store providing styling products and fashionable clothing, changed to focus on their hunger. They figured that their struggle of bringing over food was experienced by other consumers as well. In June 2013 everything was finalized on a whiteboard. Ahmad AD being a “doer” wanted to get on their feet down there; get dirty and then organize stuff. July 11th, 2013 was the day the journey started and HungryNaki was founded.
