Not a ranking. A short list of firms with a real delivery record, what each one is known for, the criteria we think matter, and a checklist for choosing between them. We are on the list, and we say so.
No paid placements, no star ratings and no review counts we cannot verify. A firm made the list if it meets all five criteria below, based on public work and what its own clients say.
Projects with a client who will say so publicly, not an anonymous logo wall.
The people who scope the work are the people who build it.
Published prices or a written fixed scope before kick-off, not an hourly black box.
Source code, cloud accounts and data in the client's name, with a documented handover.
A stated maintenance offer, with costs, rather than a goodbye at go-live.

Full-service partner for SMEs and founders
A senior, remote-first team in Dhaka that runs IT departments on a monthly fee, builds products with founders and ships travel, legal and restaurant platforms the client owns outright. Best for businesses that want one accountable team rather than a vendor.
Identity and large-scale government systems
Known for biometrics and national-scale identity programmes delivered in Bangladesh and abroad. Best for public-sector and identity-heavy projects.
Large outsourcing and enterprise delivery
One of the larger local firms, with long-running enterprise engagements for banks, telcos and international clients. Best for big teams and long programmes.
Hiring in Bangladesh
The local ecosystem has moved past body-shopping. The firms worth hiring prioritise code quality, documentation and support after launch. Ask for all three in writing, from anyone on this list.
