Technology Marketer, System Analyst, Software Designer, Network Planner and Support Engineer, Project Manager — Suhrid is the second generation in the ICT industry from Bangladesh. He began his career in the pioneer software company of Bangladesh, IBCS-PRIMAX, introducing Microsoft products in Bangladesh since 1995. With a proposal of “SMART ID for every citizen of Bangladesh,” he presented his vision alongside Abu Ahmed, who helped him to bring that dream to life.
He introduced Sun Microsystems Inc., competing with global solution giants like IBM, DIGITAL, COMPAQ, and HP, and became the first Sun Support Service Engineer in Bangladesh to achieve installation permissions across organizations like AERE, SRDI, and telecom operators GP, AkTel, and Sheba — supporting installations in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Myanmar.
Suhrid initiated the national software service industry platform — a vision of his father, A. Towhid. He contributed tirelessly behind the scenes to the establishment of BASIS, helping shape Bangladesh’s software industry from its foundation.
Serving companies like CNS Limited and TechnoVista Limited, he later joined Ericsson AB as Project Manager for Grameenphone’s telecom infrastructure. He oversaw multiple MSC and BSC installations and played a vital role in the southern belt microwave connectivity and GPRS solutions during the early 3G development era.
With Orascom Telecom, Suhrid was instrumental in the acquisition and rebranding of Sheba Telecom into Banglalink. As a cross-functional manager, he supported technical, marketing, HR, and customer care teams — becoming the first Bangladeshi Management Board Member within Orascom. His Environment, Health & Safety policy was recognized by IMF and the World Bank, setting a global telecom benchmark.
Leaving Bangladesh in 2011, Suhrid continues to contribute globally while keeping his vision for his homeland alive. His initiative, ShoppersLink, evolved into Fingertips Innovations Ltd., a venture transforming creativity and innovation into sustainable success.
Believing in “Togetherness leads to achievement” and “Empowering women who dream with vision,” Suhrid remains devoted to inspiring change. He never forgets his roots and continues to take bold initiatives to represent Bangladesh with pride on the global stage.
