Entrepreneur Abu Sayem offers hope for aspiring freelancers

The young entrepreneur has set up a freelancing training center in Rangpur and has become a source of inspiration for unemployed youths

Abu Sayem is a Bangladeshi entrepreneur and a familiar face in the country. Most know him as an entrepreneur who earns $5,000 per month working as a digital marketer and F-commerce entrepreneur.

His father Abdul Awal and mother Arzina Begum are residents of Dolapara village in Alam Biditar union of Gangachra Upazila of Rangpur.

After the death of his father, when no one offered him a respectable job, Sayem started freelancing as a part-timer and tried to become a successful entrepreneur.

After 10 long years of struggle, he finally tasted success.

Now Sayem’s story is one that inspires others, due to which most of the younger generations follow him.

The young entrepreneur has set up a freelancing training center in Rangpur and has become a source of inspiration for unemployed youths.

In the meantime he set up two companies named Inbox IT Solutions Limited and Sayem Academy.

“Determination, sincerity and hard work can bring success in life. Moreover, the current government has created enough facilities for digital jobs. Now anyone from anywhere can fight poverty by freelancing. Currently, 14 men and women are working at Inbox IT Solutions and are earning at least Tk20,000 per month, making them self-reliant,” Abu Sayem points out.

A large number of unemployed youth have now become self-reliant by taking online and freelancing training from his institute.

Samiul Islam, a student of his institute, said: “I completed a two-month course on freelancing and digital marketing from Inbox IT and now, I am getting money from various clients for providing them with digital services. I hope to earn more in the future.”

Abu Sayem also said that if he gets the support of the government, he will start an IT company on a larger scale in Rangpur and will try his best to develop all the unemployed youths of Rangpur as entrepreneurs.

He was born on June 13, 1998 in Rangpur. He completed his studies in Computer Science and Engineering from a private university in the district.
