Meraz’s Misti Bari – Sweet Success Story Featured on Breaking News

In today’s rapidly growing world of e-commerce, buying and selling online has reached even the most remote villages of Bangladesh. While almost every product is now available on the internet, one thing remains rare — authentic Bangladeshi sweets.

Misti Bari, founded by S. M. Al-Meraz, has made that possible. What once seemed impossible — delivering traditional sweets online — is now a reality. His inspiring journey was recently featured in Breaking News, where reporter Anjon Chandra sat down with Meraz to discuss his dreams, struggles, and success.

Early Life and the Beginning of a Dream

Meraz, a resident of Amjhupi village under Meherpur Sadar Upazila, is a student of Meherpur Government College and an HSC candidate in the Arts group. From an early age, he dreamed of doing something unique. His entrepreneurial journey began in 2014, during his college days, which ultimately gave birth to Misti Bari.

How Misti Bari Began

Misti Bari started as a small Facebook page selling just two famous sweets from Meherpur — Sabitry and Roshokodombo — with a starting capital of only 300 taka. His very first order, for one kilogram of sweets, came from 22 kilometers away.

Despite the distance, Meraz personally delivered the order on his bicycle, determined to save on delivery costs and ensure satisfaction. That humble beginning marked the birth of something extraordinary.

Gradually, as orders increased, sweets from other districts were added to the Misti Bari collection. Today, Misti Bari delivers renowned sweets from across Bangladesh, primarily serving Dhaka and nearby areas.

A One-Man Operation

Meraz runs almost every aspect of the business himself — from management and logistics to customer communication and delivery coordination. He has no business partners and works tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly.

While operations are managed mainly from Dhaka, Misti Bari also has representatives in various districts and two delivery personnel working under Meraz’s direct supervision.

Public Response and Customer Trust

Building customer trust in online sweet sales wasn’t easy. As Meraz notes, many people in Bangladesh are still hesitant about online purchases. Yet, through consistent service, timely delivery, and high-quality products, Misti Bari has won the confidence of hundreds of customers.

“Those who order from us once usually become repeat customers,” Meraz said.
“We’ve built trust by maintaining quality and delivering on time.”

Inspiration Behind Misti Bari

Meraz’s inspiration came from his natural curiosity and guidance from several mentors. He credits Munshi Jahangir Zinnat, Founder & Chief Executive of Unique Soft, along with Yazdani Ullash, Munia Rahman, and other freelancers of Meherpur for motivating him to continue despite challenges.

He also found inspiration from the Facebook group “Don’t search for jobs – offer them and work hard.”

While his family initially misunderstood his passion for online business, Meraz remains hopeful that one day they will fully support his vision.

Challenges Faced in Online Business

Like many entrepreneurs, Meraz has faced several challenges —

• Fake orders from customers

• Payment issues during delivery

• Delivery delays due to logistics

• And online spammers disrupting marketing campaigns

Yet, each challenge only strengthened his determination to continue building a trusted online brand.

Misti Bari currently delivers traditional sweets from multiple districts, including:

• Sabitry and Roshokodombo of Meherpur

• Curd and Khirsha of Sherpur, Bogra

Customer Convenience and Service

Misti Bari provides an easy and accessible shopping experience. Customers can order online via Facebook or www.mistibari.com and choose between online payment or cash on delivery.

“We deliver sweets right to your doorstep — no need to visit crowded markets,” Meraz shared.
“Customers can taste sweets from any district while sitting comfortably at home.”

Building Trust Through Quality

Meraz believes that trust is the foundation of all online businesses. To rebuild consumer confidence in e-commerce, Misti Bari offers a unique assurance — customers who are skeptical can pay only after tasting the sweets.

“When people get cheated online, they lose faith in e-commerce,” Meraz said.
“We’re trying to change that mindset by proving our honesty and service quality.”

Misti Bari’s main promotion channel is Facebook —

Future Plans

Looking ahead, Meraz aims to transform Misti Bari into one of Bangladesh’s most trusted food and sweets brands. His vision is to expand beyond Dhaka, reaching every district with efficient service and local partnerships.

“Just as my Misti Bari keeps me awake at night with work,” he smiles,
“I dream that one day Misti Bari will never sleep — In shaa Allah.”

Final Words

Meraz’s story, as published in Breaking News, stands as a true example of how innovation, determination, and resilience can turn a simple idea into a thriving national brand. From a bicycle delivery to a nationwide online sweet-delivery platform, Misti Bari is not just a business — it’s a symbol of Meherpur’s heritage, digital progress, and entrepreneurial spirit.
