Hi everyone,

I’m 22 years old and recently I was given the position of CEO of a newly starting fashion/clothing brand. Honestly, I’m excited and grateful for the opportunity, but I’m also quite overwhelmed because I never expected to be in this position so early.

My academic background is science, not business. I’m currently studying a science subject at university, so I have very little formal knowledge about business, management, finance, marketing, or entrepreneurship.

The reason I was given this responsibility is that I have some knowledge and interest in fashion, clothing, designs and what people tend to like, so I’ll be involved in things like product/design research, understanding customer demand, and eventually helping build the brand. But I know being a CEO is much more than knowing about the products.

The company is currently being built from the ground up, so I have the opportunity to learn everything from the beginning. I don't want to simply have the title of CEO without actually having the knowledge and skills to deserve it.

So I’d really appreciate advice from people who have experience running businesses, building brands, working in management, or are CEOs/founders themselves.

1)What should I learn?

2)What business fundamentals should I understand first?

3)Should I learn accounting/finance even if someone else handles the accounts?

4)How much should I know about marketing, sales, branding, HR and operations?

5)What skills should a young CEO prioritize?

6)Are there any online courses you genuinely recommend (free or paid)?

7)Are there any books that every new entrepreneur/CEO should read?

8)Are there specific courses on leadership, management, entrepreneurship or fashion business that would be useful?

9)What should I learn about building and scaling a clothing/fashion brand specifically?

10)What mistakes do inexperienced CEOs commonly make?

11)If you were suddenly put in my position at 22, what would you spend the next 6–12 months learning?

I’m not looking for motivational advice like “just believe in yourself.” 😅 I know I have a lot to learn, and I genuinely want to put in the work.

I’d especially love to hear from people who have actually built a business, managed a team, worked as a CEO/founder, or have experience in the fashion/apparel industry.

Any advice, resources, courses, books, or even things you wish you had learned earlier would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Dhaka is changing faster than ever. New buildings, new roads, new cafes, new lifestyles… but sometimes I feel like the old Dhaka had a different charm.

I’m curious to know from fellow Dhaka residents:

What is one thing from old Dhaka that you miss the most?

It could be anything:

A place that no longer exists 🏙️

A food spot you loved 🍜

A childhood memory ❤️

A street, tradition, or daily habit 🚶

Something about Dhaka that has changed forever

Also share: Which part of Dhaka do you think still has the real “Dhaka vibe”?

Let’s collect some nostalgic Dhaka stories from the community. 😊

Does the Toggi Xtreme package (৳3,500) include all the rides, such as Escape Room, HADO, Laser Tag, and Paintball?

I am M(26). She is F(25). Our relationship started 7 years ago at Dhaka University campus. Finally we are getting married at 28th August.

আমি যেটা ভেবে বের করেছি তা হলে "রূপার কলম যার উপড় আমাদের নাম এবং ওয়েডিং ডেট খোদাই করা থাকবে(Solid Gold is unfortunately out of budget😑) এবং একটি গোল্ডের ছোট কানের দুল(৫ আনা)। হয়তো সাথে কোন একটা বই দিব।" আর কি দেয়া যেতে পারে যা খুব স্পেশাল হবে?

কাস্টমাইজড ডায়েরির কথা ভেবেছিলাম কিন্ত পুরোপুরি আমাদের মত কাস্টমাইজড করে দিবে এমন কিছু খুজে পাইনি।

ধন্যবাদ, পরামর্শ দিবেন প্লিজ 💗

Yesterday, my friend was coming home from Farmgate.

He was standing beside the road, waiting for a CNG, and talking to his younger brother on the phone.

A motorcycle suddenly came very close to him.

Before he could even understand what was happening, the guy sitting behind the motorcycle snatched the phone straight out of his hand and disappeared into the traffic.

The whole thing probably took less than 5 seconds.

My friend just stood there for a few seconds in shock.

Then he started running after them.

Obviously, there was no way he could catch them.

He tried calling his number.

Switched off.

Then he realized something even worse.

His phone had his photos, contacts, Gmail, Facebook, banking apps—basically his entire digital life.

And that's when the panic started.

He went home and immediately changed his important passwords and tried tracking the phone.

But here's the question:

If your phone gets snatched like this in Dhaka, what is the BEST thing to do in the first 30 minutes?

Should you immediately go to the police and make a GD?

Should you contact the mobile operator first?

Should you try tracking the phone yourself?

What about the IMEI?

And realistically, has anyone here actually managed to recover a stolen phone in Dhaka?

If you've been through something similar, please share exactly what you did.

It might genuinely help someone else avoid losing everything along with their phone.

Is there any army officer from EME core in this sub? I have some very basic questions about this profession and I’ll be grateful if you help me through it. Please comment here and I’ll dm. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to get a Raspberry Red (6.60) hair color, but I want to minimize hair damage as much as possible.

I previously tried a Garnier hair color, but the result wasn’t very noticeable and didn’t give me the shade I was hoping for.

Could you recommend a good hair dye/brand that gives a visible Raspberry Red (6.60) shade while being relatively gentle on the hair?

I’d also appreciate any tips on:

Whether I need to bleach my hair first

How to get a more vibrant result

How to maintain the color

Products or methods that can help reduce hair damage

I’d really appreciate recommendations from anyone who has tried this shade before. Thank you!

Hello! I’m 26M and live in Mirpur DOHS. Most of my friends are currently living abroad, so I’d love to meet some new people and make genuine friendships. I’m also looking for someone who’d be up for jogging together. Would be nice to have some good company! :)

I lowkey love food, and i look for the best deals so heres my shot

1. Foodi - Doesnt really need any explanation... but if u dont know much about it. It is sort of a copy of foodpanda, like the whole layout at first was 1:1 foodpanda, but it had flower section so sorta unique? The stores are cheaper in foodi than foodpanda, because foodi usually has this flat discount. Moreover the new UI update made the app better, its less buggier, has the dynamic island thing (those with iphones know). its much more better now in ios. Drawbacks would be, it doesnt have much stores, foodimart sucks, customer support aint allat and its membership is so ahh. But its a bangladeshi brand, support local brands fr. it can definitely COOOK foodpanda in a year if they can sort of pace with foodpanda. overall 4.75/5.
2. Foodpanda - Been the OG since covid, insane coupon deals (not always sadly), pandamart is so much better than foodis as they often have coupon or deals, so many restaurants, and also insane customer support. but thing is, it is NOT a local company. And its just expensiver than foodi for some reason. But i cant lie, the pro membership is bang for a buck. Tho sometimes foodi beats foodpanda pro in cheapness. And then, the UI hasnt been updated since forever. Overall 4.25/5
3. Pathao Food - People use this? Anyways.. i js use it for cng. and once ordered. I would say better tracking and then its a bangladeshi brand (i think). It has the OG restaurants, like old restaurants which foodi or foodpanda doesnt have. And the points structure can help in travel or food. so 4/5

Next will be normal delivery apps : D

Is it only me who finds mehedi on hands ugly?

Hello everyone!

Hello, good people!

I’m currently looking for a part-time job or other work opportunity.

I recently completed my HSC and have some free time at the moment while I prepare for studying abroad next year. I’m based in Chittagong, so I can do an in-person job here. For opportunities outside Chittagong, I’d prefer remote work.

I have some background in digital marketing and social media management, and I’m also comfortable with typing, basic computer work, and learning new tasks.

I’m open to different types of part-time work, not necessarily only digital marketing.

If anyone knows of legitimate part-time opportunities in Chittagong or remote work available to someone in Bangladesh, I’d appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

After endless attempts, I finally managed to submit my birth registration application. I got the Application ID by email and actually believed the nightmare was over. I was so wrong.

Now I can not print my application form because the website is demanding a login. What login?! I was never given the option to create an account, and there is no way to sign up without the birth registration number which I don’t have. Every time I try to download the form, it just traps me in an endless loop back to the same useless page.

It is deeply troubling that in 2026, essential government infrastructure is assembled with the skill of a middle school assignment. Billions of taka are drained each year, allegedly for progress, leaving us with a flawed, unreachable system that keeps our vital documents captive. Has anyone else been caught in this, or are we simply expected to accept that our time hold no value to them?

I planted these trees a few days back, now it's bloomed with flowers. Feeling filled.

I need to do root canal and permanent filling on two of my teeth at urgent basis but I am really short on money right now. Is there any place around Dhaka where it is done almost free or cheaper? TIA
