My Transformation Story

I'm not your typical business speaker. While others talk about entrepreneurship, I'm actually doing it.

Right now, I'm building three social ventures that prove business can be both profitable and purposeful. From IZ Digital's medical practice marketing that helps doctors reach more patients to Oshud Alo's pharmacy services that serve local communities, plus IZ Homeo's homeopathy practice providing natural healthcare solutions, each venture tackles real problems while staying financially sustainable.

Born in Bahrain, raised across the Middle East, and now based in Chattogram, Bangladesh, with operations spanning from Bangladesh to the USA, I understand how to build businesses that work across different markets and cultures. I bring a cross-cultural perspective to building businesses that work in emerging markets.

This isn't theory for me. When I speak, I share real challenges I'm facing right now, actual numbers from my current ventures, and honest stories about what doesn't work. Because honestly? Failure teaches more than success ever will.

Meet Bullet Zen, my constant reminder that building meaningful businesses shouldn't cost your peace of mind. Between managing three ventures and speaking engagements, he ensures I stay grounded in what really matters.
"Bullet teaches me that the best business strategies come from staying present with real problems, not getting lost in theoretical frameworks."

Why Choose a Practitioner-Speaker?

The speaking circuit is full of people who've read about social business. I'm actually building it.

When I speak, I bring real challenges I'm facing right now, actual numbers from my current ventures, and honest stories about what doesn't work. Because honestly? Failure teaches more than success ever will.

When I discuss digital transformation for medical practices, I share lessons from currently helping doctors grow their practices through IZ Digital. When I discuss social business models, I'm explaining the exact approach I use to keep my ventures profitable while serving real needs.
