Alesha Mart got the certificate regarding this on 2 September from the Dun & Bradstreet South Asia Middle East Limited, said a press release.
The E-commerce venture was selected for the recognition as Alesha Mart doesn't have any irregularity in its balance sheet and in the accounts of incomes and expenditures, according to the media release.
Alesha Mart is a part of Alesha Holding which has 13 more wings and it is prepared to tackle any crisis without assistance from any other party.
Alesha Mart will support all kind of government measured to regain the trust of the customers, the e-commerce platform said, adding that it is also ready to ensure refunds if any customer seek to withdraw their payments.
The e-commerce platform started its journey in January this year and its turnover in six months reached Tk1,100 crore, lesha Mart Managing Director Monzul Alam Sikdar claimed on 18 July.
The Bangladesh Bank in June sought bank statements from several e-commerce companies as some private banks suspended their payments gateways with the e-commerce ventures.
Later, the commerce ministry issued the e-commerce guideline.
What the certificate was, and was not
A Dun & Bradstreet certificate of this kind is a business-information listing based on documents the company itself supplies; it is not an audit of whether customer orders are being delivered, and it was issued in the weeks when Evaly, E-orange and Dhamaka were collapsing and every surviving platform was trying to signal that it was different.
What happened next
Updated September 2026. Alesha Mart, which had sold motorcycles at steep discounts on advance payment, stopped deliveries within months of this announcement, closed its offices and stopped answering customers by early 2022. Buyers who had paid for motorcycles months earlier filed cases and complaints with the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection, and the company's managing director Monzul Alam Sikder faced cheque-dishonour cases through 2022 and 2023. Under the Digital Commerce Operation Guidelines 2021, advance payments now sit in escrow with the payment gateway until the product is delivered, which is the protection Alesha Mart's customers did not have.
