Multidisciplinary strategist and institution builder with over 15 years of experience spanning technology, education, design, publishing, community building, and social impact.

Currently leading business analysis, product strategy and business development at Portonics, overseeing teams delivering digital products used by millions of users. I helped establish the Bengal Institute for Architecture, Landscapes and Settlements, where I led the academic programmes, publications, public engagement, and digital infrastructure during the organisation’s formative years.

A TED Senior Fellow, Founding Curator of the Global Shapers Dhaka Hub, and Curator of TEDxDhaka, I have spent much of my career building communities, nurturing ideas, and connecting people across disciplines.

My work focuses on strategy, governance, innovation, and creating platforms that help individuals and organisations thrive. I enjoy working at the intersection of disciplines, recognising patterns across seemingly unrelated fields and translating them into practical strategies, products, and institutions.
