Bangladesh's Highest Taxpayer, 2014-15 and 2015-16. Bangladesh Bank Remittance Award, 2013.
RAK Group
15 companies spanning ceramics, paints, pharmaceuticals, media, real estate, and finance, including RAK Ceramics, Bangla Vision TV, and Star Ceramics. Close to 80,000 employees.
Our vision
A Bangladesh where talent isn't held back by access, where anyone with drive can learn to build with AI and compete with the world.
Our mission
To run the country's first truly applied AI institute: build-first, portfolio-driven, and rooted in real Bangladeshi context.
The BIAI story
BIAI began with a simple frustration: every AI course in Bangladesh explained what AI is, and none taught people to build with it. So we're building the institute we wished existed, one where you ship from Day 1 and graduate with proof, not just a piece of paper.
By the numbers
Real numbers, not projections.
