When was the last time you visited Aarong and didn’t feel proud of Bangladeshi aesthetics? The most likely answer is – never. Hence, in this article we deep dive into a brand that has created its own identity and bolstered its country’s ethnicity in the process; rather Than the other way around.

In tech space, Apple has given the world a definition to American excellence. A world apart, Aarong has done the exact same thing with very different products and services. Hence, in our best observation the key to their strategy is not wat they offer but how they offer it.
