Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN) – Robovending Limited, an automated retail service provider, has recently introduced its first automated vending machine at the Indian Visa Centre in the capital Dhaka.

It will enable the visa seekers to buy snack and beverage products through an interactive dispenser at the centre.

The machine is the first of its kind in Bangladesh — branded by beverage partner Transcom Beverages Limited, a Robovending statement said.
