In a nutshell - Ahmed Fahad is a designer and a coder and VP of Product at Pathao – the leading ride-sharing, on-demand logistics, and food delivery platform in Bangladesh. At age 17, he was part of the founding team at Pathao and has since helped the company scale rapidly - so much so that the company is now valued at over $100m. Five years on, he is still going strong - for as example only last month he led the launch of Pathao Tong, a grocery delivery service, all over Bangladesh, in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. He is also part of Global Shapers Dhaka. If that wasn’t enough, he is currently finishing up his Finance degree at IBA - one of the most prestigious business schools in the country. 

Now this episode is a bit of a curveball from the last four - mainly because this one focuses on the concept of scaling an idea and the benefits of creative thinking - but not in a traditional arts or creative industry. So as a creator, if you’ve got an audience and you want to take your idea to the next level - a lot of the concepts in this episode could be potentially applicable for you. 

In this episode, we explored Fahad’s life at the intersection of business and technology, how he's using creative thinking to solve problems at Pathao and also how he balances studying and fast paced work life.
