History of Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a low-lying riverine country located in South Asia. Bangladesh is bordered by India to the east, north, and west and shares a short border with Myanmar (Burma) at the southeast. With a population of 152.6 million, Bangladesh is the most densely populated agricultural country in the world.

At present Information Technology (IT) is a subject of widespread interest in Bangladesh. With a large number of educated young people, internet and other benefits of ICT are being used to create new jobs in the rural areas. Cheap labor is the biggest asset for Bangladesh. This huge population is now being converted in to human resources, which in turn is creating ample opportunity for ITES (Information Technology Enabled Services).

Bangladesh is very optimistic in getting to the frontline of ICT revolution. To begin with, it has a very young population. Half the population of Bangladesh is under twenty. They are very creative too. With little or no help, some of these young people are coming up with great success stories in ICT.

Bangladesh got connected to the main internet backbone (Sub Marine Cable) through fiber optic under Bay of Bengal, which has added remarkable value to its ICT and ITES (Information Technology Enabled Services). At present the BPO companies are delivering jobs/orders much faster and as a result, the TAT (Turn Around Time) is reduced.
