Company Overview

Teletalk Bangladesh Limited is the only state-owned mobile network operator (MNO) in Bangladesh. Hundred percent of the company’s shares are owned by the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunication and Information Technology (MoPT); hence the People of Bangladesh are the true owner of this company. It is a public limited company registered under the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC), and the Posts and Telecommunications Division (PTD) of MoPT is the controlling authority of the company.

As an MNO, Teletalk offers mobile voice, SMS, and data services. Teletalk has affordable and customized packages to suit the mobile telecommunication needs of all citizens of Bangladesh. Also, as a state-owned entity, Teletalk is committed to providing all citizens of Bangladesh with the highest quality mobile telecommunication services. Hence, the company is focused on expanding the telecommunication network not only in high revenue earning areas but also in the hard-to-reach areas of the country where private operators are uninterested in doing so due to low revenue earning possibilities. It is a direct instrument of the government for establishing the fourth pillar of Digital Bangladesh, which is- ‘Connecting Citizens’; and an indirect one for the other three pillars- ‘Digital Government’, ‘Human Resource Development’ and ‘IT Industry Promotion’.

The Government of Bangladesh established Teletalk with a specific idea in mind- which was to disrupt the oligopolistic telecom market of that time. Since then, Teletalk has been providing differentiated services to align itself with the Government’s vision of not considering only the business case but also the betterment of mass people. Teletalk is the only MNO of Bangladesh with a 100% native human resource base, and it truly is- ‘Amader Phone’.

Primary Objectives for the Formation of Teletalk

The Government of Bangladesh created Teletalk Bangladesh Limited with the following four objectives:

  • To provide mobile telephone service to the people from the public sector
  • To ensure fair competition between public and private sectors and thereby safeguard the public interest
  • To meet a portion of the unmitigated high demand for mobile telephone
  • To create a new source of revenue for the government.
