How a young IT entrepreneur transformed his life in Digital Bangladesh
Munshi Sohag Hossen, who once peddled a van and worked in a shop to pay for his studies, has now turned into a young IT entrepreneur in Magura.
Sohag, a 24-year old youth, still lives with his family at a Gucchagram house in Hazrapur Union under Magura Sadar.
He went to India to pursue graduation in IT in Gujarat Technological University getting Indian ICCR scholarship in 2016.
After completing graduation in India, he returned home in 2020 with a dream to be self-reliant by working in the IT sector as the digital sector of Bangladesh witnessed an impressive progress in recent years.
To meet his dream, he developed a firm named ‘Pollitechs’ in Magura Sadar, which changed his life.
While talking to Sohag recently, it was learnt how a permanent house helped his study and the digital revolution made him an IT entrepreneur.
His family led a refugee life, losing their home and all assets in river erosion in Noakhali in the early 1980s. Then they shifted to Magura in 1986. His mother Shakhina Begum finally got a house in ‘Gucchagram’ made for homeless families in the 1990s.
