About Rajib Das
Rajib Das is the Founder and CEO of Loop Freight, a technology-enabled logistics company built around truckload freight in Bangladesh. As The Daily Star has described, his path into logistics started long before he founded a company, growing up around a family business that lived with the industry's inefficiencies firsthand.
A Childhood Inside the Freight Business
Das was born into a family involved in Bangladesh's logistics sector, giving him an early, practical understanding of how badly designed freight systems can hurt manufacturers. His family's business exported technical textiles to Fortune 500 clients including Nestle, Amul, and Prysmian Group, and the friction in that process stayed with him.
That early exposure to shipping delays, pricing discrepancies, and dispatch inefficiencies became the seed of what Loop Freight later set out to fix.
An International Education in Supply Chain
Das completed a Bachelor of Commerce in Supply Chain Management, Economics, and Entrepreneurship at the University of British Columbia between 2009 and 2013, and later attended the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad. Before founding Loop Freight, he worked across several logistics and business roles in Canada.
He served as a National Business Consultant at Rogers Communications, worked as a Business Development Manager at Fibre Deals Ltd managing sales teams, and spent time as an Operations Associate at the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, where he dealt directly with trucker strikes and client operations.
Founding Loop Freight
In 2018, Das co-founded Loop Freight alongside Chris Lintz, Chris Li, Wasim Uz Zaman, and Fahim Salam. The platform lets shippers book, track, and pay for shipments digitally, while giving truck carriers a way to reduce deadhead costs by picking up loads closest to their location and getting paid faster.
That two-sided design, solving pain points for both shippers and carriers at once, set Loop Freight apart from logistics platforms that focused on only one side of the freight transaction.
National Recognition
In 2020, Loop Freight received the National Award for Industrial Innovation, a recognition of the platform's impact on modernizing how truckload freight moves through Bangladesh's supply chains. That award came just two years after the company's founding, reflecting how quickly the platform's model gained traction in a market long dominated by informal, phone-based freight booking.
Das continues to lead Loop Freight's growth, applying the supply chain lessons of his family's textile export business to a technology platform built for the country's broader logistics sector.
