Lead Faculty, Institute of Business Innovation & Entrepreneurship
Four kinds of engagement, each starting from the same question: what is actually stopping this business from growing next quarter?
For established businesses that have stopped compounding and can't tell whether the problem is the product, the pricing or the route to market.
For early teams preparing to raise or to commit to a direction. We pressure-test the model before anyone else does.
For universities, institutes and development partners building credible entrepreneurship education rather than a series of one-off seminars.
For international companies and institutions choosing a first move here, and for local firms preparing to go the other way.
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call. If it isn't a fit, I'll say so on that call and point you somewhere better.
You describe the situation, I ask the awkward questions. We agree whether there is real work to do.
A working session with your numbers, your team and your market on the table. You leave with a written read of the problem.
A short, specific plan — what changes, who owns it, what it should produce and by when. No 60-slide deck.
Optional monthly advisory while the plan is being carried out, so decisions get made rather than deferred.
Bookings are made on WhatsApp only. Choose a session type, pick a time in Dhaka hours, and the request is sent straight to 01886791592.
Not sure? Start with the discovery call — it's free and it decides the rest.
Consulting days are Sunday to Thursday. Fridays, Saturdays and past dates are closed.
Times shown in Dhaka time (GMT+6).
Enough context that the first ten minutes aren't spent on introductions.
Check this over, then send it. WhatsApp opens with the request already written — press send there and the time is held while I confirm.
Your details go only to 01886791592 and are used only to arrange this session.
Work rarely stays in one market. Between Dhaka, West Africa and the Gulf, there is someone on the ground who can open the right door.

I teach entrepreneurship and I practise it, and I've found each keeps the other honest.
I founded Zovo Team Ltd. and built it into one of Bangladesh's leading startup ecosystem development brands — more than 1,500 projects delivered and over 100 startups established worldwide. Along the way came ZovoGeeks in 2021 for F-commerce founders, a first branch in Saudi Arabia, and partnerships with bodies including the Global Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the Federation of Eurasian Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
As Lead Faculty at the Institute of Business Innovation & Entrepreneurship, I work on curriculum development, international collaboration, faculty coordination and innovation-driven learning — including IBIE's expansion into Nigeria, where the aim is partnerships that outlast a single programme.
The consulting practice runs alongside both. Most of my clients are owner-led businesses in Bangladesh, teams entering the region for the first time, and institutions building entrepreneurship programmes. The work tends to be unglamorous: finding the constraint, agreeing what to stop doing, and putting a number on what the next twelve months should produce.
For anything that isn't a booking — speaking invitations, partnerships, press — WhatsApp is the fastest route.
In-person sessions are by appointment only. Please book before visiting.
