Bangladeshi Women Entrepreneurs - Samia Rahman-co-founder of Pantried

Season 4 - Episode 23: Samia Rahman co-founded the business
Pantried, an online platform to shop from local businesses in
metro Detroit in 2017 with a group of friends. The business
features many immigrant-owned mom-and-pop shops, creating
equitable access to shopping local. Samia says many local
businesses cater to specific items and foods which are
inaccessible, or more readily available in stores. Pantried
brings those items to the customers via an online platform
similar to Instacart, having groceries shopped by a personal
shopper preparing for curbside pickup or delivery services. Now
the rebranded company will begin with a beta launch of 5-6 stores
in 2021. Samia says she hopes to give back to the community she
grew up in. She is one of metro Detroit’s Bangladeshi Women
Entrepreneurs.
