Launched in February 2005, with over 38 million subscribers over a decade, Banglalink was the catalyst in making mobile telephony an affordable option for consumers in Bangladesh. The initial success of Banglalink was based on a simple mission: "Bringing mobile telephony to the masses". Fueled with the strong core values of Customer-obsessed, Entrepreneurial, Innovative, Collaborative & Truthful, Banglalink is now working relentlessly to bring digital world to every customer to build a true digital Bangladesh, moving away from the traditional mobile operator to a tech company. With customer experience being Banglalink's core focus, digitalization has become a necessity to update the way customers engage, communicate, operate, and offer services from traditional way of business to Digital/Online.
