- The narrative
Organised around themes, not years. What matters is the shape of the practice - how the early work informed the later, and how each country contributed something the next one asked for.
01 · Dhaka - 1997
Formative work at Anando, a peace and development non-profit; Professor Abdullah Al Amin served as Executive Director. This period was informed by broader international peace-education dialogue - including engagements associated with Fr Klaus Beurle - alongside a Bachelor's and Master's in Social Science (Sociology) from the University of Dhaka. A period that framed business as inseparable from ethics, community and development.
