If Dhaka has a café capital, Dhanmondi has a strong claim to the title. Along Satmasjid Road and the numbered lanes around the lake, coffee culture has taken root in a way that would have seemed unlikely in this tea-drinking city a generation ago — specialty roasters, international chains, library cafés, patisseries, and budget-friendly hangouts…
Dhaka shops the way it does everything — energetically, in crowds, and at every price point imaginable. From the vast air-conditioned floors of Panthapath and Kuril to the familiar neighbourhood plazas of Dhanmondi and Mohammadpur, the city’s shopping malls serve as far more than retail spaces: they are weekend destinations, family outings, food stops, and…
Uttara has quietly become one of Dhaka’s most active fitness neighbourhoods. Across its planned sectors — from Sonargaon Janapath to Gausul Azam Avenue — dozens of gyms and fitness centres now serve everyone from first-time exercisers and working professionals to serious bodybuilders and women looking for dedicated training spaces. With so many options within a…
Not long ago, paying for anything in Bangladesh meant one thing: cash. Salaries arrived in envelopes, rickshaw fares in coins, and sending money to family in the village meant trusting a bus driver or waiting for a relative to travel. Today, a huge share of those same payments happens through a phone — money sent…
Investing in the share market begins with a broker. A stock brokerage firm is a licensed intermediary that lets investors buy and sell shares on a stock exchange — you cannot trade directly on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) or Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) as an individual, so a broker acts on your behalf.

Fintech — short for financial technology — refers to companies that use technology to deliver financial services more efficiently than traditional methods allow. In practice, it covers everything from sending money on a mobile phone and paying a utility bill through an app, to the payment gateway quietly processing an online purchase and the digital…
Chittagong — officially Chattogram — is Bangladesh’s second-largest city, and its beauty service scene has grown alongside it. From long-established parlours near GEC Circle and Jamal Khan to newer bridal makeover studios in Nasirabad and Panchlaish, the city now offers everything from a quick threading appointment to a full bridal transformation. For brides planning their…
Filing an income tax return is one of those responsibilities that many people put off, often because it seems complicated. In reality, it is a basic civic and legal duty for those required to file, and it matters for practical reasons too. A filed return produces official proof of your tax compliance — commonly needed…
Manufacturing companies build real things — garments, steel, furniture, food products, machinery. Yet many excellent manufacturers remain nearly invisible in the place where modern buyers actually look for suppliers: online. A procurement manager searching for a packaging supplier, an international buyer researching factories, a distributor comparing brands — all of them start with a search…
Installing a solar power system is a long-term decision. The panels on your roof are expected to generate electricity for twenty years or more — which means the company you hire today will shape your energy costs, safety, and peace of mind for decades. A well-designed, professionally installed system quietly pays for itself year after…
