Khandaker Kabir said, "Leaders Forum BD was initiated on 13 June to bring together corporate leaders on one platform. It has already become a network of more than 3,000 talented corporate leaders within a short time. We are operating within the country for now and planning to expand across the world."
On the platform, Kyser Hamid said, "The platform is to create opportunities for networking and building links. We often face difficulties being at the senior management level as we do not get skilled people. Through this platform, young people will build mutually beneficial connections with senior managers in the corporate world. "
Syed Ishtiaque Reza said, "This award is being given for the first time in recognition of those who are taking the country's corporate sector forward, despite facing various challenges."
