Women in Tech: Voices from brac IT

In a world where technology is shaping the future of every industry, the role of women in tech has never been more vital. At BRAC IT Financial Services, we believe that diversity drives innovation — and empowering women in technology is central to that mission.

From software development to cybersecurity, from project management to IT infrastructure — women at BRAC IT are not just participating in tech; they are leading, creating, and inspiring.

Breaking stereotypes, building systems

Despite challenges faced by women in traditionally male-dominated spaces, BRAC IT is proud to be a workplace where gender does not define capability. Our women tech professionals are leading critical modules in our Core Banking System (OneCBS), optimizing digital microfinance tools, and managing nationwide deployments.

Sharmin Akhter, a senior software engineer at BRAC IT, shares:

“Tech was never just a career path for me — it’s a platform to create solutions that truly impact people’s lives. At BRAC IT, I’m building systems used by millions. That’s empowering.”

Nurturing a culture of inclusion

We recognize that attracting talent is just the first step. Retaining and growing that talent requires a supportive and inclusive culture. BRAC IT actively promotes:

  • Flexible work environments

  • Equal opportunities in leadership

  • Mentorship programs

  • Skill development workshops tailored to women professionals

Tahmina Rahman, Product Manager, says:

“Leadership here means listening, mentoring, and evolving. I’ve always been encouraged to bring my voice to the table — and it has made all the difference.”

Inspiring the next generation

Through internship programs, university collaborations, and tech seminars, BRAC IT is engaging with aspiring women in tech across Bangladesh. Our goal is to show that the door is open — and we’re holding it wide for the next generation of female innovators.

Final thoughts

At BRAC IT, we don’t just talk about gender inclusion — we live it. The voices of our women team members are not only heard but are helping shape the future of financial technology in Bangladesh and beyond.

As we move forward, we are committed to continuing our work toward a more balanced and inclusive tech world. Because when women rise in tech, we all rise with them.
