DHAKA, BANGLADESH – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 April 2025 – ShopUp, Bangladesh’s largest B2B commerce platform, and Sary, the leading B2B marketplace and services platform in the Gulf, have merged to form SILQ Group. This merger brings together Gulf & Emerging Asia, creating the largest B2B commerce platform to serve the fastest-growing consumer markets in the region, and across the globe.
