Combining personal goals with academic majors is not an easy task. Still, Nafis Hashmi did it, exceptionally. By utilizing his background in marketing, he tries to bring change as well as success in every work. Having worked on multiple jobs and projects before turning 25, Nafis aced all of it with passion.
He seeks knowledge from everywhere, and this expedition of learning has helped prepare him to be a perfect fit for numerous kinds of work. Quite recently, Nafis served as the Territory Officer of Banglalink Digital – one of the leading telecommunication companies of Bangladesh. His skills in disciplines of sales, design, branding, content management, data management, and supply chain greatly assisted him to bring a fine touch to his work.
Nafis’s areas of interest are not confined to business. They extended toward art, culture, history, and mythology. He is incredibly passionate about designing, writing, animating, and directing. He aims to do this at a global scale. In this regard, he succeeded by getting the opportunity to work with the Millennium Campus Network (MCN) – a partner of the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI). As a Program Coordinator, Nafis mentors more than 40 universities worldwide. Out of these, 5 universities are from Bangladesh, and he single handedly guides them throughout their fellowship with MCN.
With his cumulative professional experience in multiple fields for almost three years, Nafis believes that he can ensure the success of any project. While thriving in his career being an undergraduate student, he also successfully pulled off his extracurricular activities. He devoted his time as the General Secretary for BUP Finance Society, and worked to ensure the successful publication of ‘Arbitrage’ - the club’s annual magazine focused on Finance and Economics. Aside from completing all these weighty responsibilities, Nafis is also a booming entrepreneur. Through his brand Agápe, he aspires to promote sustainable fashion. As an intern for ‘YY Ventures’, Nafis received insight into social businesses, this enabled him to construct his sphere surrounding the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Achieving all these while being a full-time student at BUP was not easy. Balancing between study and work life was the toughest battle, and Nafis did it by wearing his time management and pressure-handling skills as armour. He completed his SSC from Ideal School and College, and HSC from Notre Dame College with commendable grades. After his graduation in 2022, he is enjoying the ride while building his career on areas that fascinate him. Above all these, Nafis wants to focus more on being a human filled with empathy and dedication to the society.
