About us

The team digitizing the delta

Jahaji Ltd. is building Bangladesh's first tracking-enabled, end-to-end digital ecosystem for inland water transport — bringing structure, real-time visibility, and accountability to a sector that has long run on oral coordination and cash. Behind it is a team that combines deep river-freight operating experience with technology, policy, and maritime expertise.
