We are pleased to share that ZARLA has been recognised as Business Model Innovation of the Year – Business Services at the Asia Innovation Awards 2026.

This award recognises how we have continued to evolve our business model by bringing together physical distribution, digital commerce, data and business services to serve the market more effectively.

For more than 20 years, we have built a nationwide distribution network serving more than 25,000 shops across Myanmar. In recent years, we have strengthened that network with new digital capabilities, including BAHOZAY, our B2B commerce platform, to give shop owners more convenient access to products, promotions and services beyond the traditional sales visit.

We have also continued to expand the role we can play for our customers. Through partnerships such as our work with CB Bank and Mastercard, we have explored new ways to improve access to financing and other business services for shop owners.

Most importantly, this recognition belongs to the people behind the work.

We thank our ZARLA teams across sales, operations, warehousing, delivery, technology, customer experience, marketing and supporting functions for their continued commitment and execution.

We also thank our customers and shop owners for their trust and feedback, our brand partners for their continued confidence in ZARLA, and all our partners for working with us to build new capabilities and create more value in the market.

This award is an important recognition of the progress we have made, but our focus remains on what comes next.

We will continue to strengthen our distribution capabilities, invest in technology and services, and improve how we connect brands with the market and serve shops across Myanmar.

Our aim remains clear: to build smarter connections that empower stronger and more sustainable growth for everyone we serve.
