The Information and Communication Technology Division issued a media statement on Sunday on his visit. At a meeting with the Google executives, Palak pointed out that Bangladeshi youths have made their mark by developing the technology sector, but they cannot transfer their money for not having a merchant account in Bangladesh. Google’s Public Policy Senior Council Wilson L White promised to take steps to open the merchant account. The media statement quoted White as saying that they were keen to work with the ICT Division of Bangladesh to start ‘Google Launchpad’ and ‘Google for Entrepreneur’ programmes. Online money transfer platform PayPal-Xoom said they would start operations in Bangladesh soon, when Palak asked them.
