Adol completed his graduation in Law from the Dhaka International University and Serajum Munira completed her graduation in Public Administration from the University of Barisal. After finishing their studies, they did not chase traditional jobs, instead they became entrepreneurs. For the story behind the journey of amarpirojpur.com, this entrepreneur couple tells us, “after completing secondary and higher secondary school; when we started to go university our friends asked us where our district was, we told them, but they didn’t recognize at once correctly. From then we had a dream to introduce our district to everyone. I thought I would take an initiative with my district through which everyone will know Pirojpur district by one name. This is how we started amarpirojpur.com. We are the people from the same district. After a long time of being in love, we got married to each other. Although we got married out of love, the time after marriage was quite struggling. We both joined two private companies for jobs. It was going well in the mindset of many things. But this dependent job did not look very good. In the meanwhile, the Coronavirus suddenly took shape and after the lockdown, we both lost our jobs.
Faced extreme problems but still not disappointed. Since We were not getting a job, we started giving our full-time initiative at amarpirojpur.com with the small amount of money that we earned from the job. We started more online campaigns and a good response started to come. In this case, many close friends came forward. Maybe it is because of them that the wheel of our destiny has turned today.
