Bangladesh’s tech scene has a clear example of steady growth as Wahid Choudhury, founder of Kaz Software, shows how a six-month outsourcing project in 2004 became the start of a company serving clients around the world, and the story begins with a small team working out of a bedroom. Wahid chose to stay in Dhaka instead of moving to the United States and offered to build a new team locally for a Silicon Valley startup that needed help. The six-month assignment grew when the client saw results, extended the contract, and allowed the team to expand. What began as consulting work turned into a company built by people who loved solving technical problems and who wanted to deliver software to international standards. In the first days the founders balanced many roles, working from a guest room with a few tables and computers, coding, handling customer support and even fixing office equipment when needed. They formalized the business by registering as a limited company and launching a website with the kaz.com.bd domain, steps that gave the team structure and credibility. Kaz focused on steady delivery and on a culture where learning and relationships mattered, and that focus helped the firm earn trust from overseas clients who had doubts at first about coordinating across time zones. Hiring began through referrals and word of mouth, and the company learned to hire people who were willing to learn and grow rather than only looking for ready-made stars. As the business grew Wahid shifted from doing many tasks himself to building a leadership layer, delegating work and setting up simple systems that kept the company small in spirit while it scaled. He also kept practical plans for the future and used savings from consulting work to back new ideas when needed. The Kaz story has clear lessons for local entrepreneurs: start with a real client problem, prove you can deliver, keep teams close to the work, hire for potential, and then formalize operations step by step. This steady, hands-on approach turned a short runway into a lasting firm that continues to adapt, train new leaders, and contribute to the local tech industry by producing experienced people and steady services for global customers. Wahid also remembers small moments, like almost losing his first name Kaz IT Resources due to slow paperwork and switching to the simpler Kaz Software. Securing the kaz.com.bd domain took effort and felt like a win. The founders kept a practical view of risk, kept a plan B and used savings from consulting to back new ideas. That mindset helped them grow calmly and keep a friendly office where people stayed. Their steady work helped inspire other startups in the local tech ecosystem.
