My story

I learned industry on the factory floor, learned engineering in China, and built businesses that connect the two.

My path started in Rajshahi with a four-year Diploma in Textile Engineering at Rajshahi Haji Abul Hussain Institute of Technology. I studied how fibre becomes yarn, yarn becomes fabric, and how the machines in a mill keep it all running.

My first job was at Texeurop (BD) Ltd. in Gazipur, a composite textile factory that produces finished garments for export. Working there, I saw how much Bangladeshi industry depends on machines, materials and products from abroad, and how hard it is to buy them well.

That pushed me to go to the source. I moved to China and completed a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering at Chongqing Jiaotong University. Alongside the degree I learned the language, the business culture and how Chinese factories actually operate.

In 2020 I founded DE International in Dhaka to make importing from China simple and safe. I later registered Shenzhen Phoenix Rising Technology to work right next to the factories, and launched my own brand, SÜTYEN, which sells in Bangladesh and to American customers on TikTok Shop.

Approach

How I work

Four principles behind every product and every shipment.

01

Engineer first

Read the specification, understand the materials, test the sample before anything is ordered.

02

Both sides of the deal

Teams in China and Bangladesh, so nothing is lost in distance, language or paperwork.

03

Inspect before it ships

Problems are fixed at the factory, not discovered at the client's door.

04

One point of contact

From the first quote to final delivery, clients deal with one accountable team.
