Roar Global announced the next phase of its South Asian regional expansion, by deepening its investments in the Bangladesh operations and entering a new exclusive market partnership in Nepal.

The announcement signals Roar Global’s transition to scalable, long-term regional operations, reinforcing its commitment to building sustainable platform advertising infrastructure across emerging South Asian markets.

Building on Roar Global’s decade-long presence in Bangladesh, this next phase of growth will focus on establishing a stronger in-market team, deepening Meta advertising capabilities, and exploring expansion across additional digital platforms.

This phase is centred on strengthening operational depth and enabling sustainable scale within the market.

In Nepal, Roar Global has entered a partnership with Advantage Group, appointing the group as its local operational partner. The strategic alliance is designed to elevate digital advertising standards and scale Meta adoption in the Nepalese market. The partnership aims to expand Meta advertising capabilities, strengthen market education and platform adoption, and improve advertiser performance through structured collaboration. Advantage Group will lead local execution in Nepal, enabling Roar Global to accelerate growth while maintaining platform expertise and consistent delivery standards.
