About Fahim Mashroor

A.K.M. Fahim Mashroor, widely known as Fahim Mashroor, is the Co-Founder and CEO of Bdjobs.com, the online job portal that has become the default starting point for job seekers and employers across Bangladesh. He built the platform at a time when the country had almost no internet-based recruitment infrastructure at all.

Starting With a Job Board in 2000

Mashroor graduated from the University of Dhaka with a degree in Economics and later completed an MBA at the Institute of Business Administration at the same university. In 2000, he and a group of university friends set out to build an online job listing site, a category that barely existed in Bangladesh at the time given how limited internet access still was.

He has served as Managing Director and Board Member of Bdjobs.com since July 2000, making his tenure at the company one of the longest continuous leadership runs among Bangladesh's early internet entrepreneurs.

Expanding Into E-Commerce

Mashroor extended his entrepreneurial footprint well beyond recruitment, investing in and leading a number of other internet ventures. He became CEO and Co-Founder of AjkerDeal.com in January 2015, growing it into the largest B2C online marketplace in Bangladesh.

He also gave leadership and investment to Beshto.com, describing it as the country's only local-language social network, a niche positioning that set it apart from global platforms dominating Bangladesh's social media use.

Building the Logistics Layer

In February 2019, Mashroor took on the role of CEO at Delivery Tiger, a logistics company built to support the delivery demands of Bangladesh's growing e-commerce sector. That move extended his portfolio from recruitment and online retail into the physical infrastructure those businesses depend on to actually get products to customers.

Running a job portal, a marketplace, and a delivery company simultaneously gave Mashroor a rare, end-to-end view of Bangladesh's digital economy, from hiring talent to selling products to delivering them.

A Voice in Bangladesh's Tech Policy

Mashroor has served as an Elected Director of the Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) and served as BASIS President in 2013, giving him a direct role in shaping national policy conversations around the country's software and IT-enabled services industry. In 2014, he received the ICT Personality of the Year award from the Ministry of ICT, recognition of both his entrepreneurial track record and his industry leadership.

Speaking on Bangladesh's Job Market

Mashroor has remained a prominent public voice on employment and the labor market in Bangladesh. As The Daily Star has reported, he has argued that policymakers often fail to fully grasp the root causes of youth unemployment in the country, a perspective informed directly by two decades spent running Bangladesh's largest job-matching platform.
