ANCOVA started in 2016 with a handful of students at the University of Dhaka. Today we build the systems that universities, schools, alumni associations and government institutions rely on every day.
ANCOVA
est. 2016 · Dhaka
ANCOVA is a software development, data analysis and research centre. We provide innovative digital solutions to organisations, institutions and enterprises, combining strong software engineering with data-driven insight to deliver systems that are reliable, scalable and easy to manage.
Our name comes from a statistical method, the analysis of covariance. It is a reminder of where we come from: the statistics, computer science and IT classrooms of the University of Dhaka, where no claim survives without evidence.
We work closely with every organisation to understand its structure, day-to-day operations and reporting needs, and configure the system to match real work rather than a generic template. We believe good software reduces manual effort, improves accountability and lets an institution focus on what it exists to do.
To make Bangladesh's institutions more transparent, efficient and connected through accessible, well-designed technology.
A country where every school, hall, association and office owns its own data and can make better decisions with it.
What we stand for
Evidence first
Data over assumption. We use the method that fits the question, not the one that is fashionable.
Built to fit
Every system is configured to the client's real workflow, never forced into a generic template.
Transparency
Milestones, a test server, clear quotes. You always know where the work stands.
Long relationships
Our first clients are still with us. Launch is the beginning, not the end.

“We started by digitising one hall's member roll. A decade later the job is the same: make the work of people in institutions easier, with evidence to show for it. Write to me directly with any question.”
