Durbin aims to make learning fun and deliver it at lower cost. Telenor Group business units brought six Asian startups to Digital Winners – all winners of rigorous competitions in their local markets in their own right.īangladesh – Durbin by Durbin Labs won Telenor’s ‘Digital Winner’ Bangladesh apps competition. With support from Telenor Myanmar at a local level, this will impact our country to a great extent,” says Sanat Pal Chowdhury, AVP and head of Value Added Service at Telenor Myanmar. As Myanmar is transforming at a rapid pace, Bagan Innovation Technology’s achievement will inspire the ICT industry of Myanmar to further innovate. “This award to a Myanmar startup will boost inspiration and confidence to the developer community in Myanmar. The Telenor Digital jury chose Wun Zinn for its enormous societal impact on education at large (more than just the school system), access to learning, inclusion of all age groups and strong usability. We believe education is a basic right for people and enabling this through mobile is a great use of technology,” he continued.
“We have been working hard to take books to all Myanmar people as we have seen people outside the main cities cannot buy books because of poor infrastructure. Said Ricky Thet Lynn Han, of Wun Zinn, in his immediate reaction upon winning the award, “This award is an amazing achievement and this gives us more energy to realise our visions going forward.”
“Though we could only name one team Best App in Asia, we will stay connected with all of these companies as they build up and explore their potential.” So these startups who were selected to attend Digital Winners are the standouts of the standouts – and our congratulations go to the Wun Zinn team of Myanmar!” said Sigve Brekke, Telenor Group President and CEO. “Every year, our businesses work with hundreds of young startups with good ideas around the world. They are also looking to scale up regionally – in Thailand and Malaysia. So the idea, sparked at Bagan Innovation Technology, was to connect writers with their readers in an online e-book sourcing, publishing and selling platform. Writers also abound, as do avid readers, but in a country with a nascent publishing industry, getting their stories to readers en masse is near impossible outside of the major cities. Myanmar people love a good story – and there is no shortage of stories to tell there.
