DHAKA: The state-owned mobile operator Teletalk started a new journey with a new logo to attract more subscribers.

Posts, telecommunications and IT state minister Tarana Halim unveiled the logo with ‘Swapna Hasimukher’ (Dream a Smiling Face) slogan and inaugurated the re-branding program on Tuesday evening (March 8) at Bashundhara International Convention City.

‘The program has been arranged to establish Teletalk as one of the top cell phone operators in the country,’ she said.
