Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh Ltd. (SRBD) is one of the 33 global Research & Development centers and 6 Design centers [1] of Samsung Electronics located in Panthapath, Dhaka. It is considered as first R&D settlement of a multinational corporation in Bangladesh. It's operation started in June, 2010 as Samsung Bangladesh R&D Center (SBRC) in Gulshan, Dhaka and was officially inaugurated with full strength in February 2011. [2] Later, in January 2013, as part of naming standardization of all global R&D centers, it was renamed to Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh Ltd. Samsung breaks R&D into three organizations: business unit development teams that have a 1 to 2 year development outlook; research institutes that have a 3 to 5 year development outlook and focuses on technology that is expected to deliver the most promising long-term results; and the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, which works on projects with a further line of sight and identifies growth engines for the future.

Company Information
SRBD started off with more than a hundred intellects in February, 2011 with a plan to expand it's workforce into a thousand engineers by 2013. [4] Though, when the workforce reached around six hundred it stopped growing. Rather it has observed much workplace deviance and bad management causing massive forced resignations and terminations. [5] According to management policy, SRBD intends to use the immense potential of Bangladeshi IT industry and huge pool of talented engineers. This center has a synergy effect as the company trains the engineers and market it's products in the region. SRBD is committed to leading technology differentiation and securing intellectual property rights. [6]
