Privacy-first social platform ZKTOR enters Bangladesh

As ZKTOR expands beta testing from India and Nepal into Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, its design-led model raises deeper questions about data sovereignty, youth opportunity, and the future of regional digital infrastructure.

Developed by Softa Technologies Limited, ZKTOR has already undergone mass public testing in India and Nepal through availability on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, according to a press release. 

The platform is now extending controlled beta access to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, positioning this phase not as rapid expansion but as real-world validation of a privacy-first digital architecture under diverse regional conditions, the release says.

Technically, ZKTOR operates on a zero-knowledge server architecture, ensuring that user data remains inaccessible even to platform administrators, according to the release. 

For Bangladesh, the beta rollout carries implications beyond user adoption, opening potential pathways for youth engagement not merely as consumers, but as contributors to emerging digital infrastructure aligned with regional priorities, as per the release. 

Whether ZKTOR ultimately succeeds at scale remains an open question. However, its entry signals a broader shift: South Asia may no longer be content to remain only a consumer of global digital platforms, the release adds.
