Live Correspondent: BRAC Business School of BRAC University premiered a short documentary “Entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs of Bangladesh” recently at the university auditorium in collaboration with the university’s student-led platform Social Impact Lab.

The film asks “how can people who see the opportunity to change systems around them for the better development of an idea and test its validity in the real world?”

A Bangladesh-based video case study, created by BRAC University students, Nazia Zafrin, Tanzil Talat Anonto, Bayazid Hossain, Afnan Chowdhury, and Farhan and overseen by Professor Dina Hossain highlighted projects borne out of the university’s unique Social Entrepreneurship and Social Intrapreneurship classes.

Both courses are part of the global Open Society University Network (OSUN) Certificate in Social Enterprise and Leading Change, taught by Dr. Sebastian Groh, Associate Professor, BRAC Business School. The short documentary points out how student projects address social problems that affect both the early and later stages of life in the country.
