NSU Young Entrepreneur Society’s ‘NSUers Meet Corporate Icons’ promises to deliver for startup aspirants
Wafiur Rahman
Young Entrepreneurs Society (YES!), the business club of North South University (NSU), is set to hold ‘NSUers Meet Corporate Icons’ for the NSU students on the campus on 30 September and 1 October. Renowned corporate persons of Bangladesh are expected to share their stories, experience and views with the students at the programme being organised for the fifth time.
Many passionate individuals have joined the spree of startup ventures in Bangladesh, leaving their financially-secured jobs at home and abroad, resulting in a surge in independent initiatives for doing something innovative, something they start from scratch. Many have succeeded in their startup ventures and many have successfully advocated the cause. This year, NSU Yes! intends to bring those individuals in front of the students and have them share their success stories and their mantras for possessing positive work satisfaction.
NSUers Meet Corporate Icons (NMCI) is an in-house event of North South University orgranised by NSU YES! with the aim to provide the opportunity to the students to interact with different corporate leaders coming in close touch.
NMCI started its journey back in 2010 and since then NSU YES! like all its other ventures aspired to help the students and prepare them for the ‘real-world’. The whole concept of NSUers Meet Corporate Icons was to bridge the gap between the corporate world and the students.
This event consists of one or two day long sessions where the corporate icons share their knowledge with the students, who have previously registered via the booth to attend the sessions, as well as create an awareness about facts and requirements of graduates today. This is followed by a question and answer session where the students share their concerns and inquire about certain issues.

The journey of NSU Young Entrepreneurs Society (NSU YES!) began in 1994 and since then the club has grown into an epitome of success and has been triumphant in the tasks it accomplished in recent years. The club goes by the well boasted motto- ‘Join. Experience..Achieve…’
NSU YES! has demonstrated its integrity and authority among other clubs of the university by implementing new and unconventional ideas through effective execution of tasks, be it diminutive or life size. It is currently considered the best student-run organisation throughout all universities in Bangladesh, in terms of exposure, dynamism in activities and talented member base. The ultimate goal of the club is to provide the members with experience and knowledge needed to compete in the world of leaders and executives. YES! emphasises highly on the mental reform of its members through various Leadership Development Programmes and Member Development Programmes along with regular activities of the club to help them develop into competent and proficient activists in the sphere of corporates and entrepreneurs.
The achievements of the club are attributed to unity of the members and teamwork. The members, proudly known as YES!ers, have the relentless audacity and the alacrity to be transcendent and beyond compare. The strong morale of the club members binds the group in work. The vicarious beliefs of the YES!ers and their strong attachments toward YES! works as the cement of brick and mortar. Not only among the students, YES! has achieved its fame among the faculty members and the stakeholders of North South University as well as starred names in the corporate world.
Mohammed Hannan Miah, Senior Lecturer and Faculty Advisor to Young Entrepreneurs Society, says, ‘NSU YES! is a specialised club that promotes entrepreneurial skills and it has already established a special place in the minds of the students for organising various events like workshops, seminars and business related competitions. Young Entrepreneurs Society always looks at what students want. It organises events that benefit the students and promote entrepreneurship.’
Since the inception, YES! has always promoted a platform to advocate future entrepreneurs. YES! has been working on organising events that help the students get ideas about entrepreneurship and corporate networks. The creative minds of the club have always come up with innovative ideas and events that benefit the business students and strive to ensure future successes in their preferred field of interest. YES! aims to serve not only the varying students of the university but also the undergraduate students from all over Bangladesh. The YES! Club room – the dwelling of brilliant minds – is an inspiration for the aspirers and works as an effective and efficient exposition of work to new members of the club.
The functions of Young Entrepreneurs Society are not limited to only events. YES! has supported various events organised by North South University with the same diligence that it is known for during their own events. It is always acclaimed for dedication, efficiency and skills in providing exemplary performances during Career Fairs, International Conference in Statistical Science, International Conference on Knowledge Globalisation, volunteering during admission tests and volunteering during convocations at North South University.
Why this event?
What can be more encouraging for all the striving business tycoons of the future Bangladesh than to hear all those galvanising words directly from their icons? This in-house event has gained widespread acquiescence from the students. NSUers Meet Corporate Icons (NMCI) was organised so that they (NSU students) could get the opportunity of meeting corporate leaders.
Being a business club, NSU YES! aspires to help the students and prepares them for the ‘real-world’. It wanted to hold an event that prioritises the NSUers and hence came up with ‘NSUers Meet Corporate Icons’. NMCI was an instant ‘hit’. They received overwhelming response in all the seasons including this recent one and what inspired them even more is the constant request from students outside North South University to make it open for all so that they could be a part of this magnificent event.
For this event, ICE Business Times is the official magazine partner.
