Life Story

I was given a life I wasn’t supposed to have.
Raised by a fearless single mom in Bangladesh, I learned early how to figure things out. At 15, I taught myself to code and landed a job at a YC-backed startup in Dhaka.

My first startup failed — but it got me in the room.
At 17, Fahim Saleh funded my first company. It didn’t work out, but it taught me how to build stuff and led me to join the founding team at Pathao.

Pathao changed everything for me.
Over 7 years, I helped grow it into one of South Asia’s leading tech platforms — launching ride-sharing, food delivery, and payments. As Head of Product, I scaled the company to 10M+ users, $500M+ in GMV, and raised $50M+ in funding.

Next, Wind.
In 2022, I co-founded a stablecoin remittance app to make cross-border payments faster and cheaper. We raised $3.8M and exited to a US telco.

At 26, I moved to Singapore to build at global scale.
I joined Bitsmedia, a portfolio of consumer apps with 170M+ downloads, to lead growth. I now drive monetization across subscriptions, fintech, and travel. We recently raised $20M.

I use what I’ve learned to pay it forward.
I run a YouTube channel with 4M+ views, invest in early-stage founders through Team Ignite Ventures, and I’m heading to Berkeley Haas for my MBA.
