In a bold stride toward sustainable development and inclusive entrepreneurship, Md. Kamruzzaman Mridha, Managing Director of Green Chashee, is being recognized as a pioneer of green social business in Bangladesh. With a vision grounded in social impact, environmental preservation, and economic empowerment, Mr. Mridha is redefining the role of business in solving grassroots challenges.
Green Chashee, under his leadership, has spearheaded several initiatives that integrate small-scale agriculture with entrepreneurship, creating pathways for rural communities to thrive. From promoting organic farming and cattle rearing to enabling market access for farmers, the organization’s efforts have empowered thousands of individuals — especially youth and women — to become self-reliant agro-entrepreneurs.
Mr. Mridha’s approach is deeply inspired by Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus’s concept of social business, particularly the “Three Zero” vision — zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero net carbon emissions. Green Chashee’s model places community welfare above profit, while ensuring financial sustainability and environmental responsibility.
One of the most impactful programs launched by Green Chashee includes the Agro-Education and Entrepreneurship Initiative, implemented in partnership with universities and NGOs. This program provides training, resources, and startup support to young agricultural entrepreneurs, merging innovation with tradition.
Speaking about his mission, Mr. Mridha stated:
“Business must serve a purpose beyond profit. Our responsibility is to nurture the land, empower the people, and create a legacy of fairness and sustainability.”
In recognition of his efforts, Green Chashee is gaining national and international attention. The organization has been collaborating with Dulles Global Investment and Green Bangla Foundation to bring these green social business models to other countries facing similar agricultural and socioeconomic challenges.
As the global climate crisis accelerates and food security becomes an urgent concern, the work of leaders like Kamruzzaman Mridha offers a blueprint for transformative change. Through a relentless commitment to ethical entrepreneurship and ecological stewardship, Mr. Mridha continues to demonstrate how visionary leadership can cultivate a greener, fairer future for all.
