“It wasn’t easy for us to decide”, said Mr. Mustafizur Khan, one of the judges, “We looked at each of the pitches very closely and three or four of them came very close to winning. At the end of the day we had to think about which team could best represent Bangladesh for the 1st time at the Echelon Asia Summit.”

Track My Vehicle won the ‘People’s Choice Award’ with their VTS (Vehicle Tracking System) product.“It feels awesome to be chosen by the people as it means they already like our product” said Mir Shahruk Islam from the Track My Vehicle Team. “My pitch was simple.
