Our Story
DrukBees is a pioneering e-commerce solution provider in Bhutan, proudly powered entirely by women. Founded in 2014 by visionary entrepreneur Ms. Tshering Dema, the company began as a modest delivery service and online marketplace, primarily facilitating the import and delivery of goods from India to Bhutanese customers. What started as a small operation aimed at bridging the gap in access to international products has blossomed into a dynamic private limited company, embodying the spirit of innovation and resilience in Bhutan’s growing digital economy.
From its humble beginnings, DrukBees has experienced remarkable growth, expanding its reach and capabilities to become one of Bhutan’s leading information technology companies. Often referred to as “The Everything Store,” we have always aspired to be the Amazon of Bhutan—offering a comprehensive platform that makes every service and product accessible to our people in the fastest, most efficient, and cost-effective way possible. Over the years, we have evolved from a simple delivery service into a multifaceted enterprise, incorporating cutting-edge technology to serve individuals, businesses, and communities across the kingdom.
Our Mission and Vision
At DrukBees, our mission is to revolutionize e-commerce in Bhutan by leveraging the latest technology to deliver seamless, affordable solutions that simplify daily life. We are committed to making every service available to Bhutanese people, fostering convenience, and promoting economic empowerment—especially for women.
Our vision is to build a collaborative ecosystem where ideas from the community drive innovation. We invite everyone to share their e-commerce concepts with us at drukbeesbhutan@gmail.com, as we believe in working together to create solutions that ease life for individuals and strengthen our society.
