The InCAP: Mr. Asif Bin Mohsin, please share your professional and academic peregrination with our readers!
This is my very first job if I have to talk about my professional peregrination. I joined Bangladesh Finance Limited as an intern back in January 2022 as a part of my academic requirements. But after the successful completion of my internship, Bangladesh Finance offered to have me join as a Brand & Communication Officer, and I was excited enough to grab that opportunity.
Currently, I am getting an MBA from the Bangladesh University of Professionals. Before that, I graduated from the same university in the Department of Finance & Banking.
As a Brand & Communication Officer, what challenges do you face while playing your role, and how do you overcome those?
Being a strategic brand professional, the most challenging thing is to keep up with the fast-moving industry trends and maintain consistency so that the brand I’m working on is presented across all channels. But I take this challenge as fun, so it doesn’t seem like a challenge to me.
Bangladesh Finance is one of the most well-known financial institutions in Bangladesh, and we are interested to know more about your organization from you.
With a focus on innovation and a customer-centric approach, Bangladesh Finance has come a long way since its inception in 1999 and has established itself as a prominent player in the financial sector in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Finance is rapidly growing under the dynamic leadership of Md. Kyser Hamid, the company’s managing director and CEO. The company has always put its customers first and has made efforts to understand their needs and provide solutions that meet their requirements. This has helped the company build a loyal customer base and has contributed to its strong brand reputation. Moreover, Bangladesh Finance maintains an AA credit rating, and the industry’s one of the lowest NPLs in the year 2022. As a result, the company got recognition as one of the most sustainable financial institutions in the country by the central bank. And I am very grateful to be a part of this amazing journey.
Where do you think Bangladesh needs to focus on for the betterment of the Finance Industry?
Well, the financial sector has been going through a revolution in recent times. But this fast-growing industry is in question because of some unexpected incidents where some particular bodies were involved; the industry itself is not responsible. Here, I think to protect the industry from this darkness, the establishment of strong governance is very important, and Bangladesh needs to focus on this.
What was your first job in life? How much was your first salary? What did you do with the first paycheck?
I’d rather tell you about my first commission work/income! I used to work as a freelance graphic designer when I was a student. It was my first opportunity to work for a startup on a content designing project, and I received Tk 1000 as my first-ever professional remuneration. Honestly, I can’t recall exactly what I did with it.
