The reason to move in Chittagong is, it is not as saturated as Dhaka in terms of opportunities. Chittagong is like a goldmine of new possibilities. So i will spent most of my resources, i got from that stranger,on building my startup. So i would like to build an online grocery shopping business focusing on the Chittagonian customers. I would like to spend at least half of it on my new business and keep the other half to rescue myself in case something goes wrong with this business. Within around 2 lakhs i would like to build an app that would allow consumers to order their daily needs efficiently. In order to succesfully fulfil the orders i would go and tie up with the shopkeepers of Chittagong. Moreover, i would spend 2 lakhs taka to promote this app and the remaining 1 lakh taka would be needed to bear the regular expenses to run the business successfully. This way, i can create more job...    less

The district is well-known to me, and the majority of the demographic engage themselves in agriculture. One of the significant goods coming out of Jessore is cotton. In recent times and as an environmental science student, I have had the honored opportunity to research the cotton “Phuti karpas” of the famed Muslin cloth.
    
    With permission from authorities, I would use that knowledge, the capital, and my understanding of modern agricultural practices to lease land and mass produce that cotton to bring back the long-lost heritage of my country and entice the youth to partake in such agriculture in other parts as well. A single length of muslin costs in excess of USD 4200 (BDT 360000) now, so the return on investment in growing raw materials for muslin is huge. Also I would provide the cotton to the weavers at far more affordable rates so that Bangladesh does not remain “one of the” but “IS the world’s largest exporter of garments.”  less

    plan and I will definitely think of a business that can be done with the money I receive. According to the business plan, I will move to Barisal city. It’s one of the oldest municipalities and river ports in the country and one of the biggest divisions in Bangladesh. I want to move to Barisal city because it is a very prosperous city in terms of natural beauty. I want to run a travel agency so I like Barisal. I want to spread the beauty of Barisal all over the country. Not only in this country, but I will also target foreign customers. Therefore, I will provide a website, app, and also all kinds of online services for my travel agency, I will spend one-third of my capital here. I will keep so money for my
    backup and I will give an office for the offline service of my travel agency in Barisal city with the rest of the money. And I hope I will spread out my agency across the country gradually when my agency is getting enough profit.  less

    2. It's my hometown. I have known this city for a long time. It would be easy for me to understand the people's demand and to adapt with the environment. According to the above discussion I am an engineering student who want to be a self employed person. I must choose manufacturing company as a startup. It provides me both opportunities of showing my creativity and academic skill. I would like to work with local traditional, potential and departed agricultural product or handicraft. There are so many products with which i can start my business such as jute, cloth, pottery, desserts and so on. All of them need low cost investment, so I have plan of choosing 2/3 of them one by one and running a portfolio industry. I have a dream of producing a lot of local products and make them demadable and popular to our nation and aboard....    less

    2 lakh will be used to give loans to the workers. So that they can create their best content. They will be in a contract, they will repay their loan money with craft or cultivated crops equal to their labor. In this case, no interest will be taken. Care will be taken to prevent any exploitation.
    Dairy farms and honey farms will be set up using one to two years of profit. It will not be a problem to create a suitable environment.
    Since the capital is not too much, the land will be rented. Employees will create content in their own homes. So just packaging the product, labeling it, capturing it in a box to send out, and having a rough place to count. The rest of the money will be in the bank. His interest will definitely come in handy in this business project. It would take...    less

Jessore once was known exclusively for the huge amount of date juice & the date molasses it produced, which are one of my most favorite snacks of all time. But this fact is now nothing but a blur. It hurts to see our long cherished tradition to die out like this. With the money provided, I'd install a date farm which would economically benefit both me & the workers that I'd employ. I'd try my best to produce the molasses on an industrial level & also export if possible. But there's more to it. As dates are a seasonal fruit, me & my people will spend the rest of the year researching about date plants. For this, I'd also need to install a research center. There Bangladeshi students & engineers can work & try answering questions such as, why can't we produce date plants like before? or, what could be done to cultivate them using modern knowledge & technology? or, can any hybrid breed be discovered that would produce dates...    less

With the fund of ten Lac I would start Vertical aquarium fish farming. Feni is in the middle of Dhaka and Chittagong which is an opportunity to get access of large markets of the country at cheaper transportation cost and at shorter time. Moreover, a giant export processing zone is rising
    nearer to Feni, in Mirsarai, which is also a great scope to engage in export business.Once I get success it would bring a revolutionary change in my village. Many people will start their own business living in village rather going to Dhaka or going to abroad. This is how I may not only decentralize my family from Dhaka but also inspire a
    generation to live happily in their own village and not to make Dhaka more populated.  less

Different types of stones get washed up by the stream of Mohanonda from India which enters Bangladesh from the west of Banglabanda Zero point. I think it is a quite profitable business to do as many high rage buildings and roads are being built in the city areas and stones are in high demand. As it is my hometown I am hoping that I will receive assistance from my relatives or from the natives. With the money, I need to buy types of equipment which are essential to cut stones. These machines would cost up to 4 to 5 lakh taka. I will have to provide safety equipment to the workers so that they don't have to suffer from the excessive amount of dust the procedure creates. Which should cost up to 10-20 thousand taka I suppose. And I will keep the rest in a bank so that I can use the money in case of an emergency. I could also earn a fair amount of money from the...    less

The reason I choose this area because it is well known for using solar power and according to weather this area is good for harvesting agricultural foods. I would like to spend 1/3 of my money to invest on solar plan and the rest of them for agricultural purpose. Another reason I choose both agriculture and solar power because I am very much concern about the climate change and it's effect on food . Using solar power will save electricity which will later help for reducing the bad effect of climate change. Solar power and agriculture are both complementary to each other for climate change.  less
