Next Leaders organized a “Founders’ Get-Together and Networking Session” in Chattogram to facilitate experience sharing among entrepreneurs and strengthen business connections. The day-long event was held on Saturday at The Golden Spoon Restaurant in the city, with around 50 entrepreneurs and professionals taking part.

Participants included small and medium-sized business owners, entrepreneurs from the e-commerce and agency sectors, business partners and directors, as well as professionals working in marketing and business development.

The event featured discussions on practical challenges in running a business, customer acquisition, sales and marketing strategies, business expansion and brand development. Participants also exchanged views on leveraging technology to expand businesses, building effective professional networks and exploring potential opportunities for collaboration.

The main objective of the event was to create a platform where entrepreneurs could share their experiences and real-world business insights with one another. Creating new business connections and opportunities for collaboration was also a key focus of the initiative.

The session was moderated by Next Leaders Chairman and Founder Omar Sharif Ibn Hai, who has more than 22 years of experience in e-commerce, business development and marketing.

Omar Sharif Ibn Hai said, “Entrepreneurs often face similar types of challenges. However, there are very few effective platforms for sharing real-world experiences. Such initiatives can help entrepreneurs learn from one another, build networks and create opportunities for new collaborations.”

Gifts were also arranged for the participants. According to the organizers, direct interaction allows entrepreneurs to gain new insights into various business challenges and opportunities while creating scope for future collaboration.

Pay-Station served as the payment gateway partner, while Pathfinder Research & Consultancy Center was the research and development partner.

Cellorax served as the AI automation partner, and Techgenix Digital was the videography partner. Joud, Grow Organic, Kazirhat Gallery and Biscat supported the event as gift partners.

Next Leaders said it plans to continue organizing similar networking and knowledge-sharing initiatives in the future to expand opportunities for communication and experience exchange within the entrepreneurial community.
