The founder's story
It began with a question: “Why not Bangladesh?”
Before any program, a true story. This is the road that led to FM Academy.
Childhood
Growing up in Madinah
Born in Bangladesh. His childhood and early teens were spent in Madinah, near Masjid an-Nabawi.
2001–02
Every jubba said “Made in China”
Bangladesh makes some of the best garments in the world, yet there was not one Bangladeshi brand on those shelves. The question stayed: why not Bangladesh?
2002
Coming home alone
As a young teenager, carrying a large dream, he left his family in Madinah and returned to Bangladesh alone.
2002 onward
From a village madrasa to the University of Dhaka
He completed Dakhil and Alim. Almost everyone advised against it; he bought a single admission form, sat the test and entered the University of Dhaka. Alhamdulillah.
2007
First earnings, and an entrepreneur's life begins
Still a student, he chose to earn, to trade and to build.
2010
The first limited company
The first experience of working at scale — and the first lessons of a hard season.
2012
SUFI — “Why not me?”
A new beginning. “Why not Bangladesh?” became “Why not me?” — and SUFI was born.
The building years
One institution after another
UNIFORMAKER, SUFIF, Chamrai, Softozy, AALAA Developers, ZUFHAM — serving customers at home and abroad.
Today
It cannot be done alone, so he builds founders
His childhood prayer was to help feed, give water to and care for millions. That cannot be done alone. So there is FM Academy: a place that makes founders.
