My prediction is bangladesh economy will boom in next 1-2 years. Why? 1. If you consider Bangladesh like a startup, then Dr yunus is the best founder to pitch the startup and get funding from international bodies. 2. IMF and WB is most likely to fund big which will remove liquidity crisis 3. Demographic dividend and citizens optimism will play a big role in remittance and SME 4. Bangladesh narrative to the globe will be better than ever before Collected

What makes us fun building in Hardware space?    Building a product from 0 to 1 in hardware space is hard, and scaling it from 100 to 1000 is even harder, and most of the hardware startups die here. Most people think that we are directly sourcing existing technology from China (what actually average Bangladeshi means to a hardware company)     But we are not. ZEROOZEN is doing it from scratch for Bangladeshi infrastructure.    We built our first product, the ZenWall adaptive charger, for existing 50k charging garages, two-wheelers, and for battery swapping charging as well.   The most exciting and challenging thing is maintaining its supply chain.    There are a total of 254 components on the BOM (builds of material) list. Picking every component very strategically is like solving a puzzle. Sourcing them from different manufacturers around the globe is like an art.    Every team member starts / ends our day at office by solving puzzles, strategizing things, and solving tons of problems. That's fun.    Irfanul Arefin Md. Sanjid Hasan Al Rifat #zeroozen #zenwall #EVsInBangladesh #startup

#PriyoPay is one of the fastest-growing cross border payment solution in Bangladesh, especially designed for freelancers. Recently, Zakaria Swapan bhai, the CEO of #PriyoPay, invited me to join a video meeting. We discussed PriyoPay’s services, the future of digital banking in Bangladesh, the challenges in freelancing career, and some of his plans for freelancers. I found his vision quite impressive and hope to see them implemented soon, insha’Allah. It’s worth mentioning that I’m not much of a talker, and I get even more nervous in front of the camera. #DigitalBangking #FreelancingCareer #AI

Why Bangladesh Software Industry Doesn't Have Good Products on a Large Scale? 🤔 There are several factors affecting the Bangladesh software industry’s reputation for high-quality products: 1. Skill Gap and Training 📚 : Many professionals lack exposure to advanced training and real-world practices, limiting the ability to build innovative, large-scale products. 2. Focus on Outsourcing 💼 : The industry heavily relies on outsourcing, often prioritizing client requirements over developing homegrown products, which limits innovation and expertise in product development. 3. Resource Constraints 💸 : Limited budgets make it challenging for companies to invest in essential areas like R&D, marketing, and customer support for long-term product development. 4. Lack of Product Vision 🎯 : Companies often rush development without proper market research, resulting in products that don’t align with user expectations or global standards. 5. Limited Market Size 🌍 : The relatively small local market makes it difficult to justify large-scale investments, while penetrating international markets requires strategic planning that many companies find challenging. 6. Quality Over Quantity ✅ : A culture favoring quick delivery over thorough testing leads to subpar products. Emphasizing quality practices can significantly improve product standards. 7. Leadership and Collaboration 🤝 : Weak leadership that doesn't foster innovation or team collaboration hinders the development of successful products. Open communication and feedback loops are crucial. 8. Support for Startups 🚀 : A lack of a strong startup ecosystem, including funding, mentorship, and incubation support, stifles experimentation and risk-taking necessary for innovative products. 9. Politics and Mismanagement 🏢 : Politics often result in unskilled individuals in higher positions due to favoritism, impacting product quality. These leaders might exploit company resources for personal gain, leading to: - Financial Misconduct 💰 : Diverting funds away from essential areas, such as R&D, hampers long-term product quality. - Internal Conflicts ⚔️ : Creating divisions within teams disrupts collaboration, resulting in poor integration and missed deadlines. - Outsourcing for Personal Gain 🤯 : Outsourcing key product components to third parties for personal benefits often leads to substandard work, which the company and its employees later have to fix. Addressing these challenges requires a cultural shift toward transparency, meritocracy, and collaboration, with a strong focus on skill development, quality standards, and product-centric growth. By tackling these issues, the Bangladesh software industry can gradually build a reputation for high-quality products. 🌟 #bangaldesh #softwareindustry #softwaredevelopment

The Importance of IPOs for Wealth Startups in Bangladesh Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are essential for the growth and valuation of wealth startups. However, in Bangladesh, there is limited practice and awareness of IPOs, which hampers local startups' ability to attract foreign investment. Lack of IPO Practice and Awareness: Bangladeshi startups rarely use IPOs to raise capital and grow. Many entrepreneurs and the general public lack knowledge about IPO benefits and processes, leading to missed opportunities for growth and financial stability. Government's Role in Promoting IPOs: The Bangladesh government should promote IPOs by implementing supportive policies and providing educational initiatives. This can create a vibrant startup ecosystem and help entrepreneurs understand the advantages of going public. Challenges with Foreign Investment: Foreign investors often hesitate to invest in Bangladeshi startups due to the lack of a clear exit plan. An IPO offers a reliable exit strategy, enhancing company valuation and attracting investment. Without IPO prospects, startups struggle to secure necessary funds for growth. The Importance of IPOs for Company Valuation: IPOs raise capital, enhance credibility, and attract more investors. Without going public, startups find it hard to prove their worth and expand successfully. Call to Action: It's crucial to address the importance of IPOs in Bangladesh's startup ecosystem. Business leaders, policymakers, and financial experts must work together to promote IPOs, ensuring that local startups can compete globally, attract foreign investment, and achieve sustainable growth. In conclusion, IPOs are vital for the success and valuation of wealth startups in Bangladesh. The government must take steps to promote IPO practices, increase awareness, and create a supportive environment for startups to thrive, securing a prosperous future for the entrepreneurial ecosystem. #startup #startupbangladesh #business #ipo #investor #foryou #ecoachacademy #angleinvestor #tech #stockmarket
