Why a Dhaka team
Why companies abroad outsource software development to Software Chamber
Four things international clients tell us mattered most when they chose a team in Bangladesh over a local hire or a bigger offshore vendor.
You own everything
Code in your repositories, infrastructure in your own cloud account, IP assigned on payment, three months of free maintenance after every build. No rental, no lock-in.
Contracts built for cross-border work
Mutual NDA before details, a Master Services Agreement with a 12-month liability cap, SLA tiers, IP assignment and a GDPR data-processing addendum. English-law or arbitration options for enterprise clients.
Written, weekly, in English
Two-week sprints, a recorded demo every week, a Friday status report and a client portal with tasks, hours and invoices. You never wait for a time zone to wake up to know where things stand.

FAQ
Questions international clients ask
If yours is not here, ask it on the discovery call.
Senior engineers in Dhaka cost roughly 30–50% less than comparable Indian or Polish vendors, English is the working language, the time zone overlaps the UK, Europe and the Gulf for most of the day, and our prices are published before you call. You still get senior-only staffing, written reporting and contracts built for cross-border work.
Asynchronously by design: every sprint has a written plan, a recorded weekly demo and a Friday report, and the on-call lead covers 19:00–22:00 Dhaka (09:00–12:00 Eastern) for live calls. Most US clients find they need one live call a week.
You do. Repositories live in your GitHub or GitLab organisation, infrastructure runs in your own AWS, GCP, Azure or DigitalOcean account in the region you choose, and intellectual property in the deliverables is assigned to you on payment. We keep a licence only to our pre-existing tools, which you may use royalty-free.
A mutual NDA before any details, then a Master Services Agreement with a Statement of Work or Order Form, our Service Level Agreement, an IP assignment and, where personal data is involved, a GDPR/UK GDPR data-processing addendum. Governing law is Bangladesh by default with BIAC arbitration; English law and SIAC or DIAC arbitration are available for enterprise contracts.
Invoices in USD, GBP, EUR or AED, paid by bank transfer, Wise, or card through Stripe. Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance; fixed-price builds are billed per accepted milestone. International invoices carry no Bangladesh VAT.
Client-facing work is staffed by mid-level and senior engineers with five to ten years of experience; junior seats exist only as a team-extension option and always work under a senior lead. Every pod has a named project manager and access to a virtual CTO.
A Growth Pod (two dedicated developers, QA and a project manager, 160 hours a month) is $1,799 a month. A single mid-level developer in London or New York typically costs more than that in salary alone, before benefits, recruitment and management time.
Yes. Most international clients start with a Starter or Growth Pod or a fixed-price MVP from $4,900, then add seats or a second pod once the first release is live. Plans can be paused or changed at the next billing date, and the first 14 days of a subscription are money-back.

A 30-minute discovery call in your time zone, then a written proposal with a fixed price and timeline within three working days. NDA first if you prefer.
