What Acote Group does

Acote Group is a Dhaka, Bangladesh-headquartered global IT services and product company founded in 2022 by Edward Kim. The company delivers five primary service lines — AI and machine learning solutions, custom software development, cybersecurity, digital marketing, and business process outsourcing — to enterprise and mid-market clients across 20+ countries. Its technology stack spans mainstream frameworks (React, Vue.js, Node.js, Python, Java, TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV, NLTK) and integrates with hyperscaler platforms including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, alongside enterprise platforms such as Salesforce, ODOO, and Zoho.

Beyond services, Acote has built a parallel product portfolio of approximately 16 software assets, including vertical-specific SaaS (HR Management, Medical Management, School Management, Financial ERP FinCloud, Budget ERP), consumer applications (Everyreels short-drama streaming, WEBTOON digital comics, Cardbook, Turfs), and bespoke dashboards delivered for clients (Alpine Empower Banking on Salesforce, Sugar CRM, Freshh fashion e-commerce, InsightHub KPI dashboard, Finomic, DisputeFox credit management, and InterviewX AI consulting platform). Three wholly-owned subsidiaries (Nurion Lab for BPO and data solutions, Kium Consulting for Bangladesh market entry, and K-Village for Korean language training) extend the operating footprint.

The company operates regional offices in South Korea (designated Global R&D Center and led by Chief Technology Advisor Dr. Mark Kim), UK, Sweden, and Singapore, with planned 2026 openings in USA and Japan. Acote is ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified, sells exclusively through direct enterprise sales with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts, and holds sole distribution rights for IntelliVIX AI-driven security solutions in Bangladesh. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding or revenue figures.
