Bangladesh-based firm Tiger IT has recently opened a factory in Kathmandu as part of a $43.7 million project, the biggest IT related one in Nepal, to provide digital registration plates which would ensure security in vehicle management.
Tiger IT got the same project in Bangladesh under a joint venture with Bangladesh Machine Tools Factory. They started operations in 2012 with a target of manufacturing 31 lakh registration plates.
In Nepal, they joined US-based Decatur Consortium to win the contract beating some joint ventures from developed countries through a competitive and open international bidding.
Established in 2000, Tiger IT is leading the way in Southeast Asia in identification related software and undertaking national identification and immigration related projects.
They earlier provided machine readable passports in Nepal and national identity cards and biometric ID services for immigration and border control of Bhutan.
In 2008, they developed software solutions for national identity cards and voter registration in Bangladesh, a project that involved around 10 crore people.
It earlier ran international projects in the USA, Canada, UK, Moldova, Tajikistan, Kenya, India, Nepal, Bhutan and Cambodia, among others.
It has offices in the USA, UK and Poland, apart from Dhaka.
