Biggest Software Companies in Bangladesh by Size and Exports (2026)
Published by Kaz Software. Last reviewed November 11, 2026.
“Biggest” can mean most staff, most exports or most offices, and Bangladesh has no single public league table that combines them. This guide puts the numbers that are published side by side: staff counts the companies report, and the export lists that the industry body BASIS and The Business Standard have released. It uses the companies in our Top 25 Software Companies in Bangladesh (2026 Guide).
Editor's note: Kaz Software publishes this guide and lists itself where its work fits. The order follows our Top 25 Software Companies in Bangladesh (2026 Guide) and is editorial judgment, not a scored or audited ranking. Figures marked “self-reported” come from each company's own website and have not been independently verified.
Biggest software companies in Bangladesh by reported size
Company | Staff reported | Where it works | BASIS top-10 exporter, FY2024-25 | Five-year top-10 list (Dec 2022) |
Brain Station 23 | 900+ | Dhaka, with offices in Germany, Malaysia, the US, the UAE and Japan | Yes | Yes |
BJIT Group | 750+ engineers | Dhaka, with offices in seven more countries | Yes | Yes |
SELISE Digital Platforms | 700+ across eight locations | Zurich HQ; main hub in Dhaka | Yes | Yes |
Enosis Solutions | 350+ engineers | Dhaka | Yes | No |
Dynamic Solution Innovators (DSi) | 300+ engineers | Redmond HQ; Dhaka engineering centre | No | No |
Vivasoft | About 300 | Dhaka, Rajshahi, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, London | No | No |
Cefalo Bangladesh | About 250 | Oslo HQ; Dhaka delivery centre | Yes | Yes |
Mediusware | 120+ engineers and designers | US and Dhaka | No | No |
Kaz Software | 100+ (About page) | Dhaka, with an office in Bern | No | Yes |
Every staff figure above is self-reported, was published at different dates and counts different things (some include offices abroad, some count only engineers). Treat the order as a rough guide, not a ranking.
Biggest by exports
BASIS, the Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services, honoured its top ten IT and IT-enabled-service exporters for FY2024-25 at its IT Exporters' Night in January 2026. The Business Standard reported the list, which is given without ranks: BJIT, Brain Station 23, ULKASEMI, SELISE Digital Platforms, Cefalo Bangladesh, Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh, Enosis Solutions, Therap (BD), Radiant Data Systems and Data Path.
Six of those ten are in our Top 25 and also sell services to outside clients. ULKASEMI, Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh, Radiant Data Systems and Data Path are not in our guide, because they are captive R&D centres or have too little public information to profile.
For a longer view, The Business Standard listed BASIS members' ten largest exporters over the previous five years in December 2022. Kaz Software was on that list; it was not among the FY2024-25 top ten.
The industry in numbers
Measure | Figure | Source |
ICT service exports, FY2024-25 | US$724.6 million, up 7.7% on the year | Export Promotion Bureau, via The Business Standard (November 2025) |
Software and IT-enabled service companies | More than 4,500 | The Business Standard (November 2025) |
People employed in those companies | More than 300,000 | The Business Standard (November 2025) |
BASIS members that exported in FY2024-25 | About 500, of which about 300 export regularly | BASIS, via The Business Standard (January 2026) |
Two caveats from the same reporting: the government's target of US$5 billion in exports by 2025 was missed by a wide margin, and a former BASIS president told The Business Standard the real figure could exceed US$1 billion once freelancers, small outsourcing firms and some foreign-partnered companies are counted.
Why headcount is a weak measure
Self-reported. No auditor checked these numbers, and companies update them at different times.
Different definitions. One company counts all staff, another only engineers, another includes offices abroad.
Size is not your team. What matters is who will work on your project, not how many people the company employs.
Exports are not quality. An exporter with one huge client may have little time for a new one.
When a bigger company is the right choice, and when it is not
Your project | Bigger company | Smaller company |
Programme with many engineers across several technologies | Fits: can staff and replace people quickly | May struggle to find enough people |
Regulated or large enterprise rollout | Fits: process, security and support depth | Possible if it has proven references |
A first product or MVP | Can be slow and expensive for a small build | Fits: senior people stay close to your product |
A long-term product you want one team to own | Ask how long engineers stay on an account | Fits if the team is stable |
Our guides to Staff Augmentation Companies in Bangladesh: Who to Shortlist (2026) and Best Software Companies in Bangladesh for Startups and MVPs (2026) show which companies suit each model.
What to ask a large software company
Who exactly will be on my team, and can I interview them before we sign?
How long do engineers usually stay on an account like mine?
Will my project be a priority client? Ask for the size of the typical client.
Which office does the work, and what overlap hours do I get?
Show me a reference of similar size and let me call it.
Where this list fits
This is one of our shortlists by need. For the full field, read the Top 25 Software Companies in Bangladesh (2026 Guide), and for how the biggest firms are owned and structured, see Foreign-Owned Software Companies in Bangladesh (2026 Guide).

Which is the biggest software company in Bangladesh?
There is no single public ranking. Among the companies in our Top 25, Brain Station 23 reports the most staff (900+), followed by BJIT (750+) and SELISE (700+), but these are self-reported and not directly comparable.
Which software company exports the most from Bangladesh?
BASIS publishes its top ten IT and IT-enabled-service exporters without ranking them. For FY2024-25 they were BJIT, Brain Station 23, ULKASEMI, SELISE, Cefalo, Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh, Enosis, Therap (BD), Radiant Data Systems and Data Path.
How many software companies are there in Bangladesh?
The Business Standard reported in November 2025 that Bangladesh has more than 4,500 software and IT-enabled service companies employing more than 300,000 people.
Is Kaz Software one of the biggest?
Kaz is not among the largest by headcount. It was on The Business Standard's five-year top-ten exporters list in December 2022 and is not on the FY2024-25 top ten.
