Banglalink, one of the leading digital communications service providers in the country, hit the new landmark of 4 Crore subscribers. It crossed the prestigious figure acquiring 3.3 Lakh new subscribers in January 2023. With the newly acquired customers, Banglalink’s subscriber base stood at around 4.14 Crore at the end of the month. This milestone was celebrated at the Secretariat in Dhaka today in the presence of Mustafa Jabbar, Honorable Minister, Posts and Telecommunications Division, Abu Hena Morshed Zaman, Secretary, Posts and Telecommunications Division, Erik Aas, Chief Executive Officer, Banglalink, and Taimur Rahman, Chief Corporate and Regulatory Affairs Officer, Banglalink.
The achievement came as a result of Banglalink’s drive for nationwide network expansion and consistent technological advancement. Banglalink expanded its network coverage by around 40% last year, increasing its total sites to more than 14,500, which contributed to its emergence as a truly national operator. It has been recognized as the fastest 4G network in the country by Ookla for three consecutive years as well. Thanks to its superior network quality and advanced digital services, Banglalink also racked up the highest number of subscribers among all the operators in 2022. The acquisition of 26 Lakh new subscribers supported it in hitting the double-digital revenue mark in two consecutive quarters last year.
Moreover, as part of Banglalink’s digital operator strategy, a number of digital services such as Toffee, AppLink and MyBL Super App have been introduced in recent years. With over 1.2 Crore monthly active users, Toffee has emerged as the flagship of Banglalink's successful endeavors. Toffee’s high-quality contents and smooth viewing experience were instrumental in the growth of Banglalink’s subscriber-base.
Mustafa Jabbar, Honorable Minister, Posts and Telecommunications Division, said, “Our telecom industry is a key driving force behind Bangladesh’s technological progress. As one of the leading telecom operators, Banglalink has played a pivotal role in this advancement. I believe that Banglalink will achieve more success in the days to come along with contributing relentlessly to the building of a Smart Bangladesh.”
Erik Aas, Chief Executive Officer, Banglalink, said, “Banglalink’s acquisition of 4 Crore subscribers marks the beginning of another glorious chapter in our growth journey. We convey our heartfelt gratitude to our subscribers, policymakers, partners and all stakeholders for their support in achieving the milestone. Banglalink aspires to move forward as a digital operator taking inspiration from this achievement to bring impactful changes in the lives of more subscribers.”
Banglalink will remain committed to providing its subscribers with advanced digital services.
