Our good work goes beyond perfect edits
Outsourced image editing that’s good for your business — and good for the world.
Path was founded with a purpose: to empower people everywhere to do work they love, so they can create thriving businesses, lives, and communities.
We believe outsourcing has the power to change the world for the better. Both for our customers and in the communities where our teams work and live.
The Path story
Path’s CEO and founder, Atiqur Rahman Molla, grew up in Gaibandha, a village in Bangladesh. Atiqur grew up seeing poverty and suffering in his community, and he wanted to help, even as a kid. He wanted to make a difference.
Path is that difference. What started as a small family-run design business in 2008 has grown into an online image editing studio with customers around the world — and has helped create nearly 1000 jobs in Gaibandha.
We still think of ourselves as a family business — just a much bigger family than when we started.
The path to Path
Part of our mission is to create jobs that change local villagers’ lives with access to real employment opportunities and real salaries. No one should have to leave their family to find work in a larger city.

Everything starts at the Sarah Institute
Our very own training center in Gaibandha, named after Atiqur’s grandmother.
