Why companies build teams in Bangladesh

Lundi supports compliant employment in Bangladesh for specialist hires — particularly Dhaka technology, garment-industry operations, and back-office at very low cost. For English-language operations and US time-zone work, Philippines typically wins; for engineering depth, India or Vietnam.

Bangladesh has a developing technology and back-office sector concentrated in Dhaka, plus substantial garment industry operations. Senior English-fluent professional talent pool is smaller than India or Pakistan, but very low unit cost. Bangladeshi taka (BDT) is the local currency. Strong fit for specialist hires in garment industry operations or very-low-cost back-office at scale. For English-language and US-customer-facing roles Lundi typically recommends Philippines; for engineering depth and senior tech talent, India or Vietnam.

Cost of Employment in Bangladesh

What it costs to employ someone through Lundi.

Lundi's cost is the all-in cost of the employee — gross salary plus statutory employer contributions plus customary benefits — and a Lundi management fee on top. The management fee depends on team size and scope: smaller teams pay a higher per-head rate, teams of 20+ get materially better unit economics, and Build–Operate–Transfer engagements are structured separately.

The alternative paths look like: setting up your own local entity (meaningful months of legal and accounting work, plus ongoing in-country HR, payroll, and compliance infrastructure), engaging a local recruitment agency on contingency (typically a percentage of first-year compensation, paid once, with no ongoing employment relationship), or hiring as a contractor (lower upfront cost, real misclassification risk in most jurisdictions). Lundi is faster than entity setup, structurally different from contingency recruitment, and lower-risk than contractor arrangements.

Why Companies Choose Lundi

If you need help with anything, we're here for you

Who is Lundi for?

Lundi works with companies building teams of 10 or more across business, technical, and operational functions . Not for one-off hires or individual placements.

How is this different from an EOR?

EOR platforms employ individuals for you. Lundi recruits, employs, and operates concentrated teams — including day-to-day management, HR, and an optional path to your own entity. It's the operating model for companies that have outgrown the EOR ceiling.
