Reflecting on the recognition, Sadia Haque said, “This recognition is not just about me, but about the entire ShareTrip family and what we’ve built together. Our ambition is to grow ShareTrip into a world-class platform on par with global leaders, while proudly showcasing Bangladesh’s innovation and talent on the international stage.”
