Well people in Bangladesh knows about your company.Not Just Dhaka.

So how do you sell your products.Easy set up an estore and integrate:

• Brac Bank
• Dutch Bangla
• EBL
• BKash

and connect to your Bank account.

Customers around Bangladesh will buy from your estore and pay by ATM cards that are selected by you.

Then you deliver goods to various other parts of Bangladesh by courier service or other transportation services.

No Need to come to Dhaka to setup office and pay huge advance.

Then what?

Do SEO and people will find your company site.

There are about 20 million internet users in Bangladesh.

Recently a Mobile Operating System has  been introduced by Mozilla Fire Fox.

The mobile is called Adaptive available in Bnagladesh(as far as i know ,it is avilable in Dhaka) for: 4650 BDT (USD 60).

The handset developed by Symphony and introduced by Grameen Phone.

The advantage is:

There is Bengali input in Fire Fox OS.

So what ?

The Bangladesh population as of 2013:156 Million.

Almost everybody has mobile phones,and if everybody uses.
Internet users will be 156 Million in Bangladesh.

Well not everybody will buy this phone.Yes but they already might be using the internet and included in the 20 million. Iam talking about 156-20 Million.

They might not be using internet because:

• expenses
• Not know how to use internet
• Not understand English.

Well The third point :This OS has Bengali and people who do not know enough English will use it and eventually we have 156 million users.

Dont think so?Well did any body think in 1990's Rickshaw pullers and Fakirs(beggars) will be using Mobile phones???

I guess some body did: Telenor did!They revolutionized Bangladesh or one of the Digital Revolutionary of Bangladesh.(DRB)**

Do you want to buy that Bengali Mobile?

So eventually your business market is 156 million in Bangladesh  provided you have internet.

Location in Bangladesh does not matter now days for your business that much.
