About

Three decades of leadership in Bangladesh's ICT trade.

From a small group of Motijheel hardware traders to a nationally recognized institutional voice.

Where we began

In the late 1990s, the Motijheel commercial area was already emerging as Dhaka's hub for computer hardware retail and ICT services. A small group of trader-entrepreneurs came together to give that community a structured, collective voice — a body that could advocate for fair trade, share knowledge, and represent members in dialogue with regulators.

That body became the Motijheel Computer Society, and over the years it has grown from a handful of founding members into one of Bangladesh's most respected ICT trade associations.

Where we are today

Today MCS represents over a thousand member firms, runs a year-round calendar of events and training, publishes industry research, and maintains formal relationships with peer associations and government agencies.
