DHAKA, March 23, 2019 (BSS) – Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Minister Mustafa Jabbar today said business entities from tiny street shops to multinational companies have embraced digital transformation for their existence.

“If they [business entities] are failed to cope with digital transformation, would face the threat of nonexistence in future and it is a reality,” he added.

Jabbar noted the BPO would turn into a most profitable state-owned organization if the network of BPO is utilized properly.

He also revealed that the post office would be announced as “digital post office” soon.

BPO director general Sushanta Kumar Mondal, e-CAB general secretary Mohammad Abdul Wahed Tamal and Daraz’s CEO Syed Mostahidul Huq were present.
