"Talent knows no boundaries - that's the motto of Airwrk," said Sayem Faruk, founder & CEO of Remotely Technologies, the parent company of Airwrk.

Previously, Airwrk won DataBird LaunchPad 2021 and is also a part of GrameenPhone Accelerator's 7th Batch. The startup has already placed two talents in the US and is currently raising its pre-seed round to scale up operations.
