Arogga’s Impact in Bangladesh
Arogga, a pioneering Bangladeshi healthtech startup co-founded by Mazumder, has made significant strides in the healthcare sector by addressing critical issues related to access to medicine. With approximately 20% of medicines in circulation in Bangladesh being counterfeit, Arogga’s efforts are crucial in combating this pervasive problem. The startup has successfully closed a $5 million seed round last year, further bolstering its capacity to ensure the supply of genuine medications across the nation.
Expanding Horizons
In addition to its primary mission, Arogga has recently launched a lab testing vertical, offering home sample collection services. This new initiative is set to enhance their service offerings and expand their positive impact on healthcare in Bangladesh. Mazumder’s leadership and vision have been instrumental in driving these innovations and ensuring the startup’s continued growth and success.
