Dhaka, May 16, 2025 — A wave of festivity and enthusiasm swept across the campus of Government Bangla College as hundreds of students participated in a dynamic seminar on freelancing, held on Thursday.

The event aimed to enlighten students about the vast opportunities and practical challenges in the freelancing sector. It was moderated by Mofsena Mitu of European IT.
In his keynote speech, Mamunur Rashid, Head of European IT Bangladesh, emphasized the importance of determination and perseverance in achieving career success.
“Whatever you decide regarding your career, stick to your decision despite all barriers. You may be bent, but never broken,” he told the students.
He also shared his personal journey of building European IT, highlighting his collaboration with Sandeep Chowdhury, the firm's Co-founder and Chairman, in Ireland.

Delivering the welcome address, M Firoz Al Mamun, Head of Business Development (Bangladesh), noted that traditional desk jobs are gradually diminishing while freelancing is gaining momentum.
