you misunderstood me so let me try again
say you are a Briton who built a garment factory in shonardesh,
which then is run by an Indian management team
then you sell those garments to two UK firms namely Primark and Asda wallmart
they pay their invoices to you in UK, manager's salaries go to a bank in India.
the only money that you send to shonardesh is for wages, bribes, utility bills and some materials.

I wanted to know how Indian and American owners (if any) who export to UK, EU and US do it
and who's GDP is it if only the wages and other costs are sent to BD but sale receipts do not go there

Thats a different and larger question.

The value addition (sales, logistics etc) that is done in the end-consumer markets is part of their GDP....given no BDeshi component is involved with that.

BD basically GDP wise "gets" what the wholesalers buy them for (it figures in their final export figures basically) ...which as you are correct in saying is a fraction of the final selling price in Walmart etc....and only a part of that part goes to the actual people making the product in the factory floor (apparently wages are around 95 bucks a month, which is horrendous if you ask me..given thats less than the average GDP per capita of BD).

Its same kind of deal that happens with say Apple phones in North America....only some fraction of the selling price actually goes to where its made (China, Taiwan)....given the value addition (and IP value etc) that goes on in North America (i.e stuff that is offshored is the stuff where labour costs are much more price sensitive).
