portion of risky capital for the new companies. With this effort,

Bangladesh Venture Capital Limited (BVCL) has come forward to provide

early stage funds for the new business ventures. BVCL is encouraging

Some Quotes from Sabur Khan

● We should encourage our young to become an entrepreneur. They should

set up their career to be an Entrepreneur. In any case if they fail, they will

be able to become a successful employee due to his/her Entrepreneurial

strengths he achieved. I am really happy to see lot of organizations and

initiators are now moving to encourage our young generation through

various campaigns. If this encouragement goes on by all level of

stakeholders, there will be no jobless people in our country in near future.

We really need a change!

● Young should move to change the country with their innovation,

entrepreneurship & leadership. I must salute all of them who are really

eager to contribute for developing new entrepreneurs in our beloved

country. Young should prove their efficiency through innovation and be the

best in global market utilizing the technology. It will make all of us proud. I

am confident that the moment is very close when people will know

Bangladesh— a country for young entrepreneur.

● Our new generation needs to be educated and trained up in such a way


that they will believe in mind to be an entrepreneur, who will not search for

a job, rather will provide job to others.

Last but not the least:

It is revealed that without dedication, dynamism, innovativeness and risk

taking ability an entrepreneur cannot be able to add value in the society and

cannot create core competencies. Moreover, society should consider and

provide status to the wealthy section of the country not only on the basis of

the creation of their personal wealth but how much employment they can

create in their organizations. As such social outlook should be changed and

individualistic attitude should be removed. Unsystematic risk of the

organizations can be reduced through diversification of the businesses as well

as creation of the competent management of the company. Competitive

advantage in the field of the business policy may be feasible if new

entrepreneurs take lesson from the life sketch of Sabur. His group is now

working as a price leader firm in the industry. But when competition will grow

up, organizations will be more competitive and simultaneously work both as

effectively and efficiently. Ultimately services can be provided at low cost and

quality can be ensured.

Under the capable leadership of Mr. Sabur, Daffodil Family render services to

the human being and the society of the country. Daffodil Family is a

technological institution that provides education, ICT, Hardware, Software,

Internet. Now- a- days this Family contributed and involved in business in our

country and also expanded business in the international arena. As an

entrepreneur, he is a very dedicated entrepreneur due to his vision and

mission simultaneously working towards contributing economy of the

Bangladesh. Young entrepreneurs especially those who want to involve in the

ICT sector may be more interested in doing entrepreneurial activities, they can

consider Sabur as one of the pioneer entrepreneur in the field of ICT. He

worked hard to bridge the gap between digital divide. Without proper target

oriented planning and its successful implementation, entrepreneur cannot be

able to achieve the goal. Mr. Sabur worked hard and proved that he has been

working with innovative ideas, enthusiastic, dynamic, risk taking attitude,

ethical and proficient support system.
