ShareTrip made history by becoming the first travel brand and the first startup in Bangladesh to win the Superbrands award, a clear sign of the company’s growing role in the local travel market and in tech innovation. The award was presented at Le Meridien Dhaka, where ShareTrip’s CEO and co-founder Sadia Haque accepted the honor and thanked customers and the team. The company started as the nation’s first full online travel agency and it used simple technology to make booking flights and hotels faster and clearer for ordinary people. Over time ShareTrip added helpful features like AI tools that suggest the best flight options, clear prices without hidden fees, and easy ways to pay. It also moved into lifestyle services and payment solutions so users could do more from a single app and website. Judges singled out ShareTrip for strong customer trust, clear service design, and a local team that understands how people travel in Bangladesh. The award shows that homegrown startups can set standards and build brands that compete with global names while keeping local focus. Company leaders said the prize will help them improve service and reach more cities and users across the country. Experts at the event noted that travel tech can boost jobs, support small hotels and local guides, and open new chances for small businesses to sell online. Many guests praised ShareTrip’s focus on transparency, safety, and convenience, and said these qualities help people feel confident when planning trips. Organizers highlighted how the company used partnerships with banks, hotels, and travel partners to create smoother experiences for customers. The recognition can inspire other young companies to focus on trust and strong design while solving real problems for people. For customers, the win means they can expect steady improvements and new services that make travel planning simpler and friendlier. For the wider tech community, it proves that careful product work, local knowledge, and good service can build lasting brands at home. ShareTrip’s team said they will keep adding tools that use smart technology to save time and money for users while keeping services easy to use. The mood at the event was optimistic because the award highlights what is possible when local teams build with users first and points to more growth in homegrown travel tech that helps customers and the wider travel economy. Leaders also said they will expand customer support and training for partners so small hotels and agents can use the platform easily. They plan to work with universities and incubators to find new ideas and young talent. The team hopes the award will attract more partners and encourage local investment that will keep growth rooted in Bangladesh. The future looks bright ahead.
