NAVIRA LTD

What NAVIRA LTD does

Navira Limited is a Bangladesh-domiciled, joint-stock manpower recruitment agency founded on 17 August 1999, operating under Government of Bangladesh Recruiting License No. 712 and registered with the Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Trading. The company is headquartered at 13/1 New Eskator Road, Dhaka, and operates liaison offices in Kuwait (regional HQ), Qatar, Japan, and India. Its core product is overseas placement of skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled Bangladeshi workers into employers across 17+ destination countries spanning the Middle East (Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Egypt), South Asia (Afghanistan), Africa (Libya, Mauritius), and East/Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand). Skill categories span high professionals (doctors, engineers, architects), office management, construction, hospitality, oil and gas, agriculture/poultry, heavy-machinery operation, and domestic labor, with a dedicated female-domestic-worker vertical launched under government authorization.

Service delivery is conducted via enterprise field sales to overseas employers and recruitment agencies (with direct interviews in principal or video form) and supported by embassy cooperation, while job seekers access the platform through an online registration portal and a visa-status tracking tool. The Hajj & Umrah pilgrimage service (under Hajj License 774) and a domestic Bangladesh placement service broaden the revenue base beyond outbound recruitment. Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on placement contracts and religious-tourism packages, with pricing negotiated per employer, worker category, and destination country on multi-year contract terms. Vertically integrated sister concerns — Flyover Tours & Travels, Power Communications, Motalib & Sons, Mahabub & Company, Call dot com, and Arisha Logistics — provide travel, telecom, trading, and logistics capacity. Ownership is concentrated among Chairman Mahabub Rahman, Managing Director Shaikh Mohammad Shahidur Rahman, and Director Md. Shamim Hasan, with no external institutional capital disclosed.
