Technology for Social Impact

What Technology for Social Impact does

Technology for Social Impact is a Bangladesh-based, privately held for-profit company founded in 2009 in Dhaka, with an employee headcount in the 11-50 range. Per its own brief, the company develops "innovative tech solutions for social impact" across three target verticals: agriculture, health, and education — addressing development-sector problems through information and communication technology rather than purely through humanitarian aid.

The company does not publicly disclose a product portfolio, proprietary technology stack, pricing model, revenue mechanics, or customer segments in the available data. No named customers, no segment breakdown, no case studies, no revenue figure, and no commercial metrics are available. Its only documented capital event is a 2010 funding round (Round 2) involving Intel Capital as an investor, with the lead investor and round size not publicly disclosed. Leadership consists of Kazi Huque (CEO) and Zia Manzur (COO).

The operational status of the company is unclear. Its primary web domain, tsi.com.bd, is currently expired and displaying a Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL) service-discontinuation notice in both Bengali and English, indicating the website is offline. The available data does not confirm whether the underlying legal entity is still operating, dormant, or wound down. Geographic scope appears limited to Bangladesh (operating_geographies country code: BGD), with no evidence of multi-country expansion.

Expansion highlights2 records

Emerging players

• DataKind: DataKind applies data science and AI for social impact across health, agriculture, and education in developing countries; comparable as an emerging-player organization that pairs technology with development-sector delivery.

Direct peers

• Medic (formerly Medic Mobile): Medic builds open-source digital health tools for community health workers in low- and middle-income countries, making it a direct comparable for the health-and-technology-for-social-impact vertical TSI operates in.
• Viamo: Viamo leverages mobile technology (IVR, SMS, apps) for agriculture, health, and education information access in emerging markets — a direct peer in multi-sector ICT4D, especially relevant given TSI's Bangladesh and South Asia orientation.
• Dimagi: Dimagi builds ICT4D platforms (CommCare, DHIS2 contributions) used by frontline workers in health, agriculture, and other development sectors — directly overlapping Technology for Social Impact's tech-for-development, multi-sector mission.
• Praekelt: Praekelt delivers mobile-first social impact technology across health, education, and economic inclusion in emerging markets — mirroring TSI's multi-vertical, developing-market, mission-driven technology approach.
• InSTEDD (Innovative Support to Emergencies, Diseases and Disasters): InSTEDD designs and deploys technology tools for humanitarian and development work, including health and early-warning systems — an ICT4D peer with cross-sector scope like TSI.

Broad incumbents

• thoughtworks (Social Impact program): Thoughtworks operates a global Social Impact program applying software engineering to development-sector clients; relevant as a broad incumbent that competes for the same donor-funded technology engagements.
• Code for America: Code for America applies civic technology and digital service design to government and social-sector challenges; comparable as a broader social-impact technology organization, though focused on US civic services.

Others

• J-PAL South Asia / ICT4D research groups: J-PAL and affiliated research groups evaluate technology-for-development interventions in health, agriculture, and education in South Asia, including Bangladesh; adjacent as commissioning/evaluating bodies that shape demand for ICT4D implementers like TSI.

Regional players

• mPedigree / mPedigree Network: mPedigree applies mobile and cloud technology for health and supply-chain integrity across Africa and parts of Asia; an adjacent regional/social-impact technology peer that targets similar LMIC markets.
