Once again bKash has awarded publication houses for selling highest number of books through bKash payment at the Ekushey Book Fair 2024. Five publishing houses were selected in three categories for selling the highest number of books through this cashless digital payment method.
bKash has been involved in organising Bangla Academy’s Amar Ekushey Book Fair as the main sponsor for the past seven years. It has been offering cashbacks-discounts at book fair to encourage readers-visitors to buy more books.
This year, in the 1st category, Prothoma Prokashon won flight ticket to ‘Dhaka-Bangkok-Dhaka’ by receiving highest payment through bKash. Baatighar won flight tickets to ‘Dhaka-Kathmandu-Dhaka’ in the 2nd category. Career, Chayanir and Da pop-up factory won flight ticket to ‘Dhaka- Cox’s Bazar-Dhaka’ in the 3rd category.
