Resnova builds the software, the hardware, and the intelligence that governments, defense agencies, and regulated enterprises require to operate at scale and under scrutiny — and signs for every layer.
Resnova is a Bangladeshi institutional technology company. The work is custom software, IoT systems, and applied AI for governments, defense agencies, and regulated enterprises — the institutions for which being wrong is not a recoverable position.
The company was founded on a specific bet: that the most consequential software of the next twenty years will not be built where the press tends to look. South Asia has the engineers, the institutional buyers, and the willingness to operate on long horizons. What it lacked, until now, was a team prepared to sign for the firmware, the model, and the cloud as one accountable unit.
Resnova operates from Dhaka. Engagements are multi-year and span hardware, software, and intelligence layers. Sovereign data residency, audit-grade provenance, and operator override are first-class architectural concerns. The procurement cycle is long. The press does not write about it. We have chosen to work on these problems anyway.
Sized for ministries, not for retail. Long horizons. Audit-grade records. Operator-in-the-loop by default.
Name the customer, the constraint, the artifact. Resnova does not sell platforms in the abstract.
One team signs for the firmware, the model, and the cloud. There is no other team to point to.
Resnova was founded in 2020 in Dhaka — not in Silicon Valley, not in London, not in Singapore — because the institutions we wanted to serve were here, and because we believed that the most consequential software of the next twenty years will not be built where the press tends to look.
We work for governments. We work for defense agencies. We work for the regulated enterprises that operate the infrastructure on which ordinary lives depend. We do this for two reasons. The first is that these are problems of consequence — the kind that, if solved badly, fail in ways that cost lives, money, or sovereign legitimacy. The second is that no one else seems particularly interested in solving them. The institutional buyer is not glamorous. The procurement cycle is long. The press does not write about it. We have chosen to work on these problems anyway.
The company you see here is small by the standards of the sector. We are forty engineers, analysts, and operators. We do not intend to be five thousand. We intend to be the team that signed for every layer — the firmware, the model, the cloud — when a ministry called and asked who would be responsible. That is a posture, not a strategy. We think it is more honest than a strategy.
If you are an operator in a government or a defense agency, and you have read this far, please write to us. We will answer.





Specific institutional clients are not named on this page. References are available, under NDA, to qualified procurement counterparties on request.
If you cannot name the person who signed for the firmware, the model, and the cloud — do not deploy the system.
If you are an engineer, an analyst, or an operator who has chosen to work on consequential problems — and you would like to do that work alongside people who answer their email — please write.
