Taking a Startup from Zero to One | Hussain M. Elius | TEDxNorthSouthUniversity

"Took an idea with three friends in a garage and built the largest consumer-tech platform in Bangladesh and Nepal. Starting again, now building for the world,” is what Hussein Elius wrote on his Linkedin About.
Paul Graham’s concept of “Schlep Blindness” inspired Hussein Elius to choose entrepreneurship while avoiding schlepping and focusing on building his own company. In 2013, he started his first start-up, “Kaijuthemes.” In 2015, he launched “Pathao,” a trusted transport, delivery, and ride-sharing venture, as a co-founder. The success was so magnificent that he was featured in Forbes’ list of 30 under 30 in 2019 in two categories. Never losing the inertia, he is now a co-founder of “Wind,” a decentralized bank that lets users instantly transact money in the form of stablecoins worldwide at almost zero fees.
Hussein Elius is a visionary leader, a venturesome and driven individual. In our society, people rarely go against the norm and start a venture from scratch. With his creativity, perseverance, and expertise, he chose entrepreneurship and overcame the daunting side of it. In this age of severe unemployment problems, He is an icon, especially for Bangladeshi youth.
North South University is excited to have this alumnus back on campus and looking forward to his insightful TED talk.
