Bio

I am a passionate Bangladeshi who loves solving problems and being creative. I have always been drawn to new ideas, but it wasn't until 2006 that my entrepreneurial spirit was awakened when I moved back home.

I am an international business and customs consultant, entrepreneur, angel investor and startup advisor with over 16 years of experience in the corporate world. The first company I started failed spectacularly after a year of starting but to this date, and I carry the lessons I learned from that failure.

In 2018, I Co-Founded Eco-Business Initiatives Limited with my best friend - an organisation dedicated to assisting renewable energy generation and storage plus recycling solution providers find their footing here in Bangladesh. Already we have signed our first Exclusive Representative deal, and talks are underway to sign more.

I am also involved in the startup sector here in Bangladesh as an Investor and Advisor. Please do knock me if you want me to have a look at your pitch. I am more than happy to work with you on making it better, and I'll do it for free - considering time permits.

I am also involved with a local chapter for Rotary International.

Reach out to me if you believe I can assist you in any way or if you want to start a conversation.
