Join Us For a Live Conversation With Mahadi Hasan Sagor and Md. Saimum Hossain, Founders, Geeky Social

We've been following Geeky Social since its early days. The Dhaka-based digital marketing agency that started small and weathered every storm the market threw at it. The company has just turned 10, a milestone that deserves attention in Bangladesh's unique business ecosystem.

Most businesses don't make it past year two. Fewer still reach a decade. So when a company not only survives for ten years, there are lessons worth learning.

Join us for an intimate live conversation with Geeky Social's founders: Muhammad Saimum Hossain and Mahadi Hasan Sagor. Saimum and Sagor will share their unfiltered story. The real story. Not just the highlights, but the close calls, the pivots, the moments when giving up felt easier than pushing forward, what helped the company survive and what’s next for the company going forward. 

About the Guests and the Host

Muhammad Saimum Hossain and Mahadi Hasan Sagor co-founded Geeky Social in 2014. Over the past decade, they've built the agency from a two-person team to a company that's worked with hundreds of brands across industries.

They've seen the digital marketing landscape evolve in Bangladesh. They've adapted, survived setbacks, and built something sustainable without external funding.

The event will be hosted by T.M. Shabbir, Founder of Green Grocery with occasional side support from Future Startup Founder Mohammad Ruhul Kader.

We've covered Geeky Social multiple times over the years. You can read our previous coverage here.

What We'll Explore

• The journey: Struggles, mistakes, market changes, evolutions, and lessons
• The survival playbook: How they navigated market crashes, client losses, and industry changes
• Growth strategies that worked: The decisions that moved the needle
• The missed opportunities: Why they didn't scale faster or had not grown bigger (and whether that was the right call)
• Major struggles faced, biggest mistakes made, and most important lessons learned
• Today's reality: Where Geeky stands now and what they've learned about building lasting enterprise 
• The road ahead: Their vision for the next decade
• How the journey has changed them as founders—what do they know better and would do differently today
• The evolution of digital marketing industry in Bangladesh 

Why Join

Ten years in business means they've seen three market cycles. They've hired, fired, lost clients, won them back. They've competed with agencies ten times their size and startups with venture backing. They're still here.

Their story isn't about overnight success or massive funding rounds. It's about persistence, good decisions, and building something that lasts.

If you're building a company, thinking about starting one, or just curious about what it takes to survive in Bangladesh's unique market, this conversation will give you insights you won't find in any business book.

We're keeping this intimate for a reason. Real conversations happen in small rooms. The kind where founders can be honest about their failures, share the strategies, and answer the questions that matter.
