Country’s women entrepreneurs are now carving out a niche for themselves in businesses and drew attention of media by their relentless efforts at their works.
Three women entrepreneurs -Afroza Khanam Mili, Chhadekun Nahar and Sanjida Salma Poly – are the example of women entrepreneurs who made their marks in businesses and became successful.
When Afroza Khanam Mili, 35, who hailed from Kadirabad area of capital’s Mohammadpur area, started her business she had only Tk 3000 as capital. But in the short span of seven years, her capital
stood at Taka 50 lakh. He has been operating ‘Hostashoily’ boutiques since 2013. When she started business, both she and her husband were unemployed.
“In the beginning, all my relatives and friends were very much negative and they criticized me a lot. They didn’t like to see me as an entrepreneur after completion of my Master’s degree. But I was tenacious about my motto and carried out my job perfectly and honestly. And today all of my relatives and well-wishers praises me a lot,” Mili said.
“I took training from Bangladesh Small & Cottage Industry Corporation (BSCIC) on entrepreneurship. My husband helped me in my business and inspired me. Rupali Bank has given me loan to expand my business. I am grateful to the authority of the bank,” she added.
Chhadekun Nahar, who hailed from Rangpur, started her business with only Taka four hundred.
