On his 56th Birthday, Techworld Bangladesh had an opportunity to wish and talk to him regarding his 25th years of journey in local ICT industry. The key conversation of the session has been shared below:

How did you notice the development of the IT industry since last two decade?

• It is tremendous when started, we had to make people understand the technology but now they have become choosy. So the market has been grown, so does the business competition and its size. And I am to say that positive change of ICT market has reshaped our local industry. We are in ICT and using it as common in every aspect of our life.  When, 25 years back, we started with only 10 people, it has increased upto 200 along with 10 branched across the country. 

What was the key component that contributes the best   for this remarkable development?

Actually you cannot define it for anything sole , it is a collaboration. Like consumer increase, means the demand and it encouraged supply. Finally the policy maker, yes, we are lucky to have such dynamic government leadership for the infrastructure and regulation that inspire the industry people to take risk in business. So, all were moving simultaneously and these collective efforts results this industry with opportunities. But most interesting is the consumer and their behavior towards technology especially the mobile penetration. It helps people to connect with technology that increased the others product demand also.  Finally the competition among the business community has benefitted the consumer and made market healthy.   

What would you like to say about business challenges between now and 25 years back?

That time we didn’t have the market challenges like now. That time the market was small and the consumer wasn’t aware.  Market wasn’t ready and it was the challenge then but right now the market has been mature enough and the completion is huge.  And we have technology friendly government, engrossed consumer and spirited private sector. So time is totally changed when we started.

You spent your 25 years of business life with ICT. So as experienced, could you please tell us the future of Bangladesh in ICT and also about your organization?

Look, ICT or digitalization has motivated the whole nation of our country that is the indication of rising movements of a country. When everyone becomes understand that there is no alternative but to digital then nothing can hold us back, as I believe.  And the day is not far away from us. And about Unique Business System Limited, we always believe in quality service rather to the quantity.  So I hope we will do much better in future and I am confident enough about my team and youngsters I have that they will be more dynamic and smart than me. As an optimistic person, I also believe that we have the opportunity to export our services in the global market by next 25 years from now. Let us see the next.

Thank you so much, Sir to share your thoughts with us.

You are welcome.
