No self-made entrepreneur is truly self-made. Behind every line of code written, every venture shipped, and every scale milestone achieved stands a network of mentors, regional supporters, and international partners. NextBangla's 14-year journey is a collective achievement. This page is our permanent, institutional monument of appreciation to those who believed in us when we were just a single teenager with five hundred taka and a dream.
Our Foundations: Regional Roots
The story of Ersaduzzaman Antor and NextBangla Ltd begins in Nilphamari, Bangladesh. In the early days (circa 2012), there were no venture networks. The local support we received laid the groundwork for our global operations today.
Nilphamari & Rangpur DC Office
We extend our sincere gratitude to the district administration and community leaders in Nilphamari and Rangpur. Contractually assisting the Rangpur Deputy Commissioner (DC) Office in early digitalization during 2012-2017 provided invaluable real-world training in large-scale system deployments and operational engineering.
Mentors & Academics
Deep appreciation goes to our teachers at Nilphamari Govt Boys' High School, and the faculty of the Information and Communication Engineering (ICE) department at Rangpur Engineering College. They provided the solid academic framework that supported our early freelance initiatives and firm scaling.
UK & Global Networks
We recognize our partners in London and cross-border strategic allies. From our early digital marketing support to our modern AI companion co-builds like VOXLY, their feedback loops, commercial trusts, and direct equity-alignment have turned our local firm into a global player.
Our Students & Operatives
Gratitude to the hundreds of students and graduates trained at NextBangla IT Institute in Nilphamari. Seeing our alumni transition into global freelancers and skilled developers reinforces our studio's ultimate mission of educational empowerment.
A Mathematical Proof of Shared Progress
As we stand in 2026, looking back at our launch in 2012, we see exactly 14 years of mathematical timeline consistency. Every era—from the Textile Diploma days to the B.Sc in ICE scaleup, and now our premium AI-native Dhaka HQ in Uttara—is connected by a single thread: the people who supported us. Thank you.
"NextBangla was built in Nilphamari, scaled in Rangpur, and globalized in Dhaka—but it was enabled by our mentors and partners everywhere."
