Dr. Ahmed Armaan Siddiqui
Candidate • Director (Associate)
BASIS Election 2026
“Every associate member is a cornerstone of Bangladesh's digital economy. Together, we will build a responsive, supportive, and commercially vibrant association.”
A Candidacy for a Member-Friendly, Globally Connected BASIS
Hello! I am Dr. Ahmed Armaan Siddiqui. I was born in Sitakunda. I have been working in technology, telecom, innovation and digital transformation for more than 25 years, and have had the opportunity to contribute to several pioneering digital initiatives in the country. Today, as CEO of Grameen Healthtech Limited, I am working to bring positive change to people's lives through technology.
I believe the greatest strength of Bangladesh is our talent — our young generation and our entrepreneurs. With that belief and long-standing experience, I have stood for the post of Director (Associate) in the BASIS elections.
My dream is a modern, participatory and member-friendly BASIS, where every worthy initiative has the opportunity to move forward. Together with domestic ICT institutions, start-ups and SMEs, we can turn 'Made in Bangladesh Technology' into a strong identity on the global stage.
The 6 Strategic Commitments Manifesto
A concrete, actionable agenda designed to unlock commercial opportunities, institutional support, and fair representation for Bangladesh's associate ICT community.
Position Bangladesh's ICT associate community at the center of the country's fast-growing digital health sector, drawing on my direct experience building Shukhee and scaling Grameen Healthtech.
- Establish a dedicated BASIS Digital Health Working Group connecting associate members to hospitals, diagnostics, and insurers.
- Host an Annual Digital Health Showcase for associate startups to pitch products directly to healthcare decision-makers.
- Advocate for national procurement policies that ensure fair evaluation for smaller, associate-tier tech vendors.
