Ms. Rubaba Dawla, Founder & MD, Pulse Healthcare Services, had similar things to say. She talked about the social stigma centering women entrepreneurs and how things are changing 48% of the country’s entrepreneurs are females. Her advice was to believe in oneself and break all mental barriers and achieve success. She also expressed interest to work with JAAGO’s volunteers of VBD. Mr. Hussain Elius, Co-Founder of Pathao, advised not to join the start-up to earn money. One has to go through tremendous mental pressure. He talked about the importance of training and analytical thinking, that schools & colleges will not teach. One has to learn this by themselves from the internet and other sources. Mr. Kishwar Hashemee, Co-Founder & CEO, Kludio, also said the same thing and emphasized on the level of difficulty of the way of life of an entrepreneur and how it is a constant learning process. He said it is essential to be aggressive about the strategy to make things happen. This webinar was hosted by Mr.Tanjim Ferdous.
The last webinar of the day, titled “Youth in Art & Culture” was hosted by Mr. Tony Michael Gomes and the speakers were Mr. Rajib Samdani & Ms. Nadia Samdani, Samdani Art Foundation, Mr. Jon Kabir, Musician, Ms. Elita Karim, Singer & Journalist, and Mr. Ashfaque Nipun, Writer & Director. Mr. Samdani and Ms. Nadia collectively explained how there was no platform for the Bangladeshi fine arts to exhibit when they had started and now the Dhaka art summit has become a medium by which young artists of our country have made an impact and their work has reached the whole world.

Mr. Jon talked about transformation in the field of art and culture and one has to first love what they do. Art can never be treated like a business venture. Ms. Elita spoke about women not being given challenging work in reporting, thinking she may not be able to do it and how so many women are breaking this norm now and changing views of society. Mr. Nipun talked of the world as a big visual medium. Bangladesh is going through a transition. And social media in many ways may have become a barrier towards creating professional writers and authors. He emphasized and reminded us how writing and content are prime for anything and everything creative.
The program was very successful and JAAGO Foundation plans to host many such shows in the future that will motivate, inspire, and empower the youth of the nation. JAAGO thanks Summit Corporation Limited and the webinar partners for their invaluable contribution and partnership and hopes to enter into more such meaningful and impactful collaborations in the future.
