Startup Grind Dhaka, the local chapter of the largest global startup community worldwide headquartered in Silicon Valley, led by Chapter Director Farihan F. Rahman, in association with North South University (NSU) and NSU YES (Young Entrepreneurs Society) organised “The Age of AI by Microsoft”.
The insightful event brought together industry leaders, students, faculties and tech enthusiasts to explore the future of artificial intelligence (AI). 
The event featured keynote speakers such as Yousup Faruqu, Country Director of Microsoft (Bangladesh, Bhutan & Nepal), and Abdul Hannan Chowdhury, Vice Chancellor of North South University (NSU) and Chairman of Grameen Bank.

Rahman, Chapter Director of Startup Grind Dhaka and Founder of InveStar, said, “It was an honor to host such a forward-looking event, featuring leaders like Microsoft who are driving innovation in AI today. The enthusiasm we saw here at the Fireside Chat is very similar to what I witnessed in Silicon Valley across the young audience. I believe in Bangladesh’s potential to play a key role in the global AI revolution.”
