Techmania Your Digital Partner
A woman-owned venture
Techmania is an IT hardware retail company.
We sell computer hardware and provide services.
Very few women are engaged in technology hardware business due to patriarchal perspective of society towards women in
Bangladesh.
Techmania began in mid 2008. In the beginning colleagues and fellow businessmen found it odd as the
venture was headed by a woman who acts like a typical rising and thriving
man.
There were hindrances and there was also persistence
in me too to fight them
Techmania is now a supplier of more than 20 corporate clients. Delivering
right products at fair cost and ensuring great after-sale service are the secrets of Techmania’s success.
Be with Techmania
