As part of OSL's 10 β A Decade of Strategic and Entrepreneurial Leadership for an Innovative Bangladesh, we continue to reconnect with our alumni and celebrate the people, memories, and experiences that have shaped the Department of Organization Strategy and Leadership over the past decade.
Today, we feature Md. Saiful Islam from OSL's 4th Batch, currently serving as a Territory Officer at Robi Axiata Ltd. Through his work in one of Bangladesh's leading telecommunications companies, he is contributing to business growth and customer engagement while carrying forward the leadership mindset and values developed during his time at OSL.
We asked Saiful Bhai about a memory from his OSL journey that he still cherishes. His answer was "নদৠঠনΰ§ΰ¦€ΰ§ΰ¦€ΰ§ΰ¦¬". নদৠঠনΰ§ΰ¦€ΰ§ΰ¦€ΰ§ΰ¦¬ was one of OSL's landmark initiatives and the first river cruise program of its kind at the University of Dhaka. Bringing together undergraduate students, alumni, EMBA students, faculty members, and departmental staff, it created a unique opportunity for the entire OSL family to connect beyond the classroom. Filled with conversations, laughter, music, and shared experiences, the event became a memorable celebration of togetherness and remains one of the most cherished milestones in the department's history.
We also asked Saiful Bhai what message he would like to share with the current students of OSL. He said: "Never be afraid of challenges. Stay focused on your goals, keep learning, take ownership of your responsibilities, and always give your best effort. Success may not come overnight, but hard work never goes unnoticed."
On the occasion of OSL's 10th Anniversary, Saiful Bhai shared his heartfelt wishes:
"A decade of dedication, innovation, teamwork, and remarkable achievementsβwhat an incredible journey it has been! As we celebrate this significant milestone, we honor the contributions of every team member who has been part of OSL's success story. Your commitment, passion, and relentless pursuit of excellence have shaped the department into what it is today. May the next decade bring even greater accomplishments, stronger bonds, and new heights of success. Here's to 10 years of excellence and many more years of growth and achievement ahead! Happy 10th Anniversary, OSL!"
As we celebrate ten years of OSL, stories like Saiful Bhai's remind us that the department's legacy is built not only through academics but also through experiences that bring people together and create lifelong memories.
We sincerely thank Saiful Bhai for sharing his memories, thoughtful advice, and warm wishes with the OSL family as part of the Humans of OSL campaign. We are grateful for his continued connection with the department and wish him every success in his professional journey.
