About

The engine behind global brands — now building his own.

His career began in 2005 at Axiata and took off at ZTE, where he rose from assistant manager to device sales leader in eighteen months. At Huawei he joined as a marketing manager and, within two years, was heading device sales — eventually leading a 1,375-person organisation across Bangladesh and Bhutan.

He was the first Bangladeshi to join vivo in a top position, working from the brand’s earliest days in the country through its rise to the top two. He then took the ed-tech platform Bright Skills to market as Executive Director, and has taught on the MBA programme at Northern University Bangladesh.

Today he is Managing Director of Eureka Ai Limited, founded in 2026, as well as Freelance Hub (BD) Limited, Reply (BD) Limited and Global Job 365 (BD) Limited — a business leader, strategist, AI enthusiast and teacher.

In his words

ব্যবসা শুধু লাভের জন্য নয়; ব্যবসা হওয়া উচিত মানুষের জীবন বদলে দেওয়ার একটি শক্তিশালী মাধ্যম।

Business is not only about profit; it should be a powerful way to change people's lives.
