Today, we communicate and connect differently. We shop and consume differently. We build companies and solve problems differently. The internet has penetrated and transformed almost every area of our lives.

We’ll be interviewing some of the country’s successful technology entrepreneurs and learn about their vision, their take on the power and possibilities of the internet, how they personally and their businesses use technology to tackle some of the pressing problems of our society and much more.
All the stories will be exclusively published in Future Startup and you can find them here.

"I was born in Dhaka as the second child of my parents. Many of my family members including my father and my uncles have been businessmen for a long time. I initially joined the same school my brother used to go to. I continued there until standard five and then moved to a different school. In fact, I studied at eight different schools in total throughout my childhood. Eventually, I ended up in Shaheen School and College in Dhaka from where I completed both my secondary and higher secondary education.
After HSC, I first got into the Independent University of Bangladesh where I stayed for one semester. Then I transferred to North South University. I graduated from there in 2007. Actually, I was supposed to graduate in 2004. But, by the end of 2003, when I was in my senior year and had only one semester left, I got involved in business and left university without completing my degree. I later went back to the university again in 2007 and completed the rest of my undergraduate program. Since then, I have been associated with several business ventures including shoe manufacturing and spice supplying."
