History
Othoba.com[4] is an eCommerce pursuit of PRAN-RFL Group. Othoba.com launched its operation in November 28, 2015.[2] Initially, othoba.com started with exclusively selling PRAN & RFL’s products online but gradually they started selling almost every kind of products.[2]
Soon after the inauguration, Othoba.com started offering deals and discounts on different occasions for its customers such as- Cashback & Discount Offer On Eid Shopping,[5] Discount Offer on Boisakhi Shopping,[6] discount offer on kitchen items.[7]
Being a sister concern of PRAN-RFL Group, unlike other startups that are focusing at the eCommerce as another distribution channel and solely opening it as an extension for selling their own products, Othoba.com is treating it as an independent venture hosting products of other brands as well.
The platform accepts orders and provides delivery all over Bangladesh.[2]
