Robi Axiata PLC has launched a national case competition, ‘Privacy Avengers’, to raise awareness of data protection and privacy among young people and help develop future leaders in the field.
The competition, organised under Robi’s ‘Privacy First’ initiative, is open to university students from all disciplines across Bangladesh. Participants will form teams of three and develop innovative, practical solutions to real-life challenges involving data protection and personal privacy.
Their proposals will be expected to balance customer trust, business needs and emerging technologies.
Robi said the initiative aims to promote a culture of responsible data use among young people while contributing to the development of future digital leaders.
Participation is free, and registration will remain open from September 1 to 21, 2026, through Robi’s website. The competition offers a total prize pool of Tk 500,000.
Registered teams will analyse a designated case and submit a concept paper by September 24. Following an initial screening, the top 20 teams will advance as ‘Privacy Defenders’.
The top 10 teams will then receive mentorship and guidance from experienced industry professionals before advancing to the final round.
The finalists will present their solutions before a grand jury on October 13. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on October 15, when the winning team will receive the title ‘Privacy Guardian 2026’.
Robi Axiata PLC is Bangladesh’s second-largest mobile network operator. Malaysia-based Axiata Group Berhad holds a 61.82% stake in the company, while Bharti Airtel holds 28.18% and public shareholders own the remaining 10%.
The company said its nationwide telecommunications infrastructure supports the country’s growing digital ecosystem and enables the delivery of digital products and services across both urban and rural areas.
