My entrepreneurial journey began in 2002 but since I had no knowledge of this industry, things got difficult. Even more so because I was the sole breadwinner for a family of six.
Growing up, I knew that one day I had to bear the responsibility of handling this prominent enterprise, and I planned my career aspirations accordingly.
Even though I started my business amid the raging Covid-19 pandemic, by the Grace of the Almighty, we were able to dodge any severe losses to our capital.
I would showcase my sample products at the front of my 80 sqft workspace, and managed to catch the attention of some corporate people who would come to Hazaribag for work.
I was born right here in Hazaribag and let me tell you, there was a time when ‘leather’ meant Hazaribag as well. So, I have seen and been around the leather industry all my life.
আমি ছোটবেলা থেকেই পরিবারের অনেক দায়িত্ব-কর্তব্য পালন করে থাকি। ফলে আমি আমার পড়াশোনা শেষ করতে পারিনি। শুধুমাত্র উচ্চ মাধ্যমিক পর্যন্ত পড়তে পেরেছিলাম।
আমি পঞ্চম শ্রেণীর পরেই পড়াশুনা শেষ করে পরিবারের কল্যাণের জন্য আমার সকলকিছু দিয়ে লেগে পরি। বছর ঘুরে, আমার বিচরণ হয় দেশের বিভিন্ন জেলা থেকে শুরু করে হরেকরকমের কাজে।
Going down the memory lane, I first started as an ice-cream seller and earned only BDT 350. It was little but I saved up as much as I could to reinvest in a grocery store.
