population of over 163 million people
committed to making a mark in the world as
one of the best destination for IT
(Information Technology) and ITES
(Information Technology Enabled Services)
outsourcing. Its current ruling Government
coined the term ‘Digital Bangladesh’ in 2008,
with an aim to make Bangladesh a leader in
IT and ITES services by 2021. The small

any institute that could offer rich experience in

developing nations, where technology development
