About Rayenda Group

A name from a river town. A promise to the world.

Rayenda Group is the umbrella company for everything built under the Rayenda name — investment, strategy and brand ownership live here.

Our story

Why "Rayenda"?

Water and mangrove forest in the Sundarbans, Bangladesh
Baleshwar · Sundarbans

Rayenda is a small town in Sharankhola upazila, Bagerhat — on the bank of the Baleshwar river, where the Sundarbans begins. Our founder grew up in Nalbunia, a village next to it, and it's the place we carry with us in everything we build.

It started small: the first websites were built on Wapka from a Java button phone, then came BDTechStore — a tech community on Facebook, a YouTube channel, and Android apps on Google Play. Everything was self-taught, in the hours around a factory job.

Not all of it lasted, but the skills did. Years of client work followed — web and mobile apps, payment-gateway integrations from bKash and Nagad to SSLCommerz and Stripe, and IoT projects. The year-by-year version is in the milestones further down this page.

In 2026 it all came together under one name. rayenda.com was secured, Rayenda Technologies became the flagship, and Rayenda Group was formed to take the same energy into new fields — news, hosting, payments, messaging, smart devices, esports and sport — with one name, one set of colours and one standard for quality. The tagline wrote itself: From Rayenda to the World.

“The name comes from home. The colours come from home. The ambition is to take home everywhere.”

— Al Emran, Founder & Chairman

Mission

Why we exist.

Build products and teams from Bangladesh that compete anywhere in the world — and bring the returns back home.

Rayenda Group exists to prove that world-class products can come from a small river town. We build for customers anywhere — not only for the local market — and we measure ourselves against the best in each field. Every company in the group is meant to create skilled jobs at home, so talented people in Bangladesh don't have to leave to do serious work. And what the group earns doesn't sit still: every return is reinvested into the next company, the next team and the next idea.

Vision

Where we are going.

A Bangladeshi group known for quality across technology, media, fintech, hardware, gaming and sport.

We want the Rayenda name to mean the same thing in every field we enter — work you can trust. The goal is products that people abroad choose on merit, not on price, and a group strong enough to keep launching new companies without lowering the standard. If we get it right, Rayenda will be on the map twice: once as the town on the Baleshwar, and once as the group that carried its name to the world.

Values

How we work.

Honesty in every quote, ownership in every line of code, and roots we never hide.

Honesty comes first: every quote, invoice and deadline we give is one we intend to keep, and when something slips we say so early. Ownership means every line of code and every decision has a name on it — nobody hides behind a team or a process. We never hide our roots; where we come from is part of the brand, not something to polish away. And quality is one standard across every company in the group, whether it is a news site, a payment product or a piece of hardware.

Milestones

Where we've been. Where we're going.

From a button phone in Sharankhola to a group of companies — the short version. Every entry here is a real turn in the road, not a press release.

None of it was planned on a whiteboard. A terminated channel taught the value of owning the platform, and a small shop back home taught how to serve a customer. Design, video, code and hardware were all learned the hard way — and Rayenda Group is where those lessons come together.

Leadership

Founder-led, developer-minded.

Rayenda Group is led by its founder — a self-taught full-stack developer and designer who went from a factory floor to CTO, shipping apps, payment integrations from bKash to Stripe, and IoT hardware along the way. The group exists so that each venture — software, media, hosting, fintech and more — can grow under one name and one standard. Still ships code at Rayenda Technologies. Decisions are quick, and quality is personal.
