Published : 02:24, 6 August 2025
From a remote village in Bangladesh to the vibrant city of Dubai, Shakib Uddin's journey is a testament to resilience, ambition, and unwavering determination. Once an ordinary young man with no clear direction, today he is the founder of a million-dollar marketing agency, Global Trade, serving international clients across the crypto, trading, and real estate sectors.
Humble Beginnings, Harsh Struggles
Over a decade ago, Shakib left his village and migrated to the United Arab Emirates in search of a better life. He recalls the early days being filled with uncertainty and hardship. “In the beginning, I had nothing,” he says. “It was a struggle every day. I had no idea what to do or where to go.”
Learning and Transformation
Determined not to give up, Shakib immersed himself in learning. He began studying marketing and trading, acquiring skills in digital marketing, content strategy, social media management, and client relations. Over time, his efforts paid off, and he gained enough confidence to launch his own company.
With Global Trade, Shakib started providing professional marketing services to some of the world’s leading crypto and trading companies. His expertise also led him to collaborate with top real estate firms in Dubai as a marketing partner, helping them boost property sales.
A Million-Dollar Business
Today, Shakib’s agency handles business worth millions of dollars annually. His company offers digital solutions to clients from multiple countries, and he is now creating employment opportunities for other expatriates as well. His story is not only one of personal success but also of giving back.
A Role Model for Migrants
“More than 12 years have passed,” Shakib reflects. “Now, I can proudly say that I’m a successful marketer.” He believes that with hard work, skill development, and the right guidance, anyone—no matter how humble their beginnings—can make a mark on the global stage.
Now residing in Dubai, Shakib has become a source of inspiration for thousands of Bangladeshi expatriates. His rise from nothing to a globally recognized entrepreneur proves that dreams backed by determination know no boundaries.
