Building Bangladesh's Learning Revolution

We started in Dhaka with a simple question: why should where you live determine the quality of education you receive?

Our Story

From a Whiteboard in Banani to 500,000 Students

Shikho was founded in 2020 by Shahir Chowdhury, a Dhaka native who watched bright students fail exams not because they lacked potential, but because they lacked access to quality instruction.

Working from a small office in Banani, Shahir and a team of three built the first version of Shikho in three months. It launched with 12 courses and 200 students. Within a year, it had grown to serve over 50,000 learners across Bangladesh.

Today, Shikho is backed by Anchorless Bangladesh and trusted by more than 500,000 students preparing for HSC, SSC, and university entrance exams. The mission has not changed: make the best teachers in Bangladesh accessible to every student, regardless of where they live.
