আজকের পর্বে, আমরা Ollyo এর CEO এবং Founder - Kawshar Ahmed ভাইয়ের কাছ থেকে তার অবিশ্বাস্য গল্প শুনব! ‍🌐
কাওসার ভাই একজন ফ্রিল্যান্সার হিসাবে তার কর্মজীবন শুরু করেছিলেন এবং পরে ZoomShaper তৈরি করেছেন, যাকে আমরা এখন Ollyo Software Company হিসাবে চিনি। Ollyo তে ৭০ জনেরও বেশি কর্মচারী কাজ করছে যারা 230 টিরও বেশি Software Products তৈরি করেছে৷ 😲
আজকে আমরা কথা বলি কিভাবে কাওসার ভাই একজন টেক্সটাইল ইঞ্জিনিয়ারিং এর ছাত্র হওয়া থেকে শুরু করে একজন সফল বাংলাদেশী সফটওয়্যার কোম্পানির গড়ে তুলেন। আরও কথা বলি কীভাবে তিনি কর্মী নিয়োগ করে থাকেন এবং তার চ্যালেঞ্জগুলি কাটিয়ে উঠতে পারেন। 🥇
আশা করি আপনারা এই পর্বটি উপভোগ করবেন ❤️
In today's episode, we dive into the fascinating journey of Kawsar Ahmed Bhai, the CEO and Founder of Ollyo. 🌐
Kawshar Bhai started his career as a freelancer and later built JoomShaper, which then turned into what we now know as Ollyo Software Company. Today, Ollyo boasts over 70 employees, and has developed more than 230 software products with over 15 million downloads. 😲
We discuss his journey from being a textile engineering student to the owner of one of the most successful Bangladeshi software companies. We further talk about his hiring mantra, office culture and how he overcomes his challenges. 🥇
Hope you enjoy this episode ❤️

Hello bhaiya!.
Following your 2 video series of
Pathao history both ride and parcel you said you would make a 3rd video about food delivery side .
Bhaiya can you make the pathao food service part please 🙏🏻 badly need the idea . Most of the well known food delivery services are facing loss .
Growing business wouldn't be the issue obviously because you Pathao had different sections also apart from food .
But in the food service alone is it a profitable business?
Buisness like Zomato swiggy foodpanda are in loss or barely profitable as far the information goes.
Can you please explain the business model like you ask your every guests :
if you were starting over only with the food delivery service how would you go about it , can you go step by step as a project manager point of view with development life cycle. Thanks in advance ❤
