Orange Corners Bangladesh Ideation Challenge 5.0 Bootcamp

I am incredibly excited and proud to have been selected for the Orange Corners Bangladesh Ideation Challenge 5.0 bootcamp. This two-day immersive experience provided invaluable insights into the startup ecosystem, and it was a privilege to be part of the top 40 teams chosen from over 375 applications nationwide. The bootcamp kicked off on June 27 with an impactful opening plenary session focused on SDG 9: resilient infrastructure, sustainable industrialization, and inclusive innovation.

The expertise shared by the industry leaders was truly inspiring. The opening session was moderated by Munira Sultana, Deputy Manager at Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center (BYLC), and featured a distinguished panel including Dr. Khondaker Golam Moazzem, Research Director at the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD); F.R. Khan, Managing Director of bti; and Bayejid Mahbub Khondker, Principal Architect & Founder of Nakshabid Architects.

On Day 2, we had the opportunity to sharpen our entrepreneurial skills through practical workshops. We learned about Customer Persona and Problem Fit from Shadab Shayeree Ahmed, Product Owner at Optimizely; Financial Modeling from Rashik Hassan, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ecovia Limited; and Pitch Practice from Naveed Ashfaque, Senior Analyst at Sajida Foundation. This bootcamp was a transformative journey, equipping me with the tools to turn innovative ideas into meaningful real-world solutions.
