Launched on March 26, 1997, it is a joint venture between Telenor Group (a Norwegian state-owned multinational telecom company) and Grameen Telecom (a non-profit sister concern of Grameen Bank). GP was established with a powerful vision: to provide universal mobile access across Bangladesh, especially in remote and rural areas.
