About Mahadi

A retired military officer and former UN Logistics Officer, I have built my career on integrity, transparency, and service. In post-retirement roles within procurement and renewable energy, I faced challenges due to my refusal to engage with corruption in Bangladesh’s political and business sectors. I now focus on advancing solar projects and ethical partnerships, driven by a commitment to honesty and sustainable progress.
