This is Ejaj-Ur-Rahaman, currently working as a Senior Lecturer, Department of Business Administration of Daffodil International University.

Moments I shared with my respected teachers who were more than my friends will never be erased from my memory. Their love and affection created the atmosphere to learn from beyond the books. I must acknowledge the opportunities I enjoyed at Daffodil International University to prepare myself as a faculty. The best support I availed from the university is the platform for co-curricular activities. I got the opportunity to play roles in different clubs as executive president and general secretary and achieved the ability to speak in front of public fearlessly and I also instilled the ability to communicate effectively.

It is worth mentioning that I completed my bachelor degree from the Department of Business Administration of Daffodil International University and completed Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from the Department of Accounting & Information Systems, University of Dhaka. I have also started my second Masters in Education Leadership in IED, Brac University.

Recently, I have been invited by Bangkok University to facilitate a course: “Attifume – Art of Attitude to Impart a Pleasant Smell for Life Time.” I have also virtually participated as co-presenter of “Economics of Body Language” at the conference “Performing the World” held in New York. Besides, I visited Lyceum of the Philippines University in Laguna, Philippines as visiting professor to teach in the College of Business & Accountancy and in the Graduate School there for a semester in 2017.

I can see the future of the university as one of the prime educational and research institutions of Asia. I would like to advise the existing and prospective students of DIU that classroom is not the limit here at DIU; you need to explore all available opportunities at DIU. These are developed only for you. Knock all the doors, you never know which one is waiting for you. Explore and go beyond.

Assistant Professor, Department of Business Administration

Hi, I am Shamima Nazreen Koli, an entrepreneur by profession. If the story of an entrepreneur has to be told or exactly what has introduced me as an entrepreneur or exactly when I have introduced myself as an entrepreneur or if there was any desire to become an entrepreneur at all, if it is reviewed, the emotion of entrepreneurship was started while I was a University student. Beside my BBA in DIU, I started trading to Dhaka Stock Market but unfortunately, I also was a victim of the collapse of the stock market. I quit selling shares worth Tk. 14 lac for Tk. 3 lac.

Then I got employed in the administration of an insurance company in 2013 and later in a reputed bank. Hence I started having a baby, I again quit the job because I couldn’t manage maternity leave. In 2015, I felt the joy of motherhood but I couldn’t start a job further because of my health complications.

Thinking of my son and my health, I have decided to start an online business though it was not so easy and popular at that time. On 7th October, 2015, I first opened my virtual business in social media including a simple webpage building a team of 5 members. Initially, I started the journey with 12 Indian and 20 local Sarees-Dresses. After one month, I got an order inside Dhaka and then a few days later it was outside of Dhaka.

Initially it was so tough to achieve their trust about quality products. I have increased the orders giving the product return options if product quality doesn’t match as per online display. Now I have more than 500 regular customers who are giving orders over the online inside and outside of Bangladesh. I’m now shaping my business up over an e-commerce platform only for garments’ industry. Now I have a very good team for sales, marketing, supply-chain and product sourcing.

I am proud of myself. I have created my self-dependable position overcoming so many adversities. I am not saying that I am a most successful entrepreneur but yes in my small world, in this small boundary I consider myself successful. How many people I have seen to be enemies, moved away from the place of the nearest people and started thinking of me as a competitor! I got hurt, upset, broken down but never did stop.

The ups and downs of business have to be overcome with patience and prudence. Life is never easy; you have to make it easy. I am grateful and thanks to the great Rabbul Alamin, my father, mother, mother-in-law, my husband Shamim Sazzad, Rana Bhaia, Mitu, Moly Apu, Mahabbat, Dina Apu, my Aunts, Lincon Bhaia, Neeama, Sabrin, Shetu, Anika, Riyad, Sufian Bhaia, Ankita, Shawon, Asif Bhaiya, and countless others. And Special Thanks to all my Customers and well-wishers for being with clicknshop.
