Whether it be innovative solutions, social projects or even the conquest of a new market, an entrepreneur’s life is exciting and a source of inspiration to others. Beeleev selects the stories of these exceptional entrepreneurs who are willing to share their experience with the world.

This is a fairy tale of entrepreneurship! Impel IT Solutions is a social IT business that aims at delivering quality IT services such as software development. But what is so special about this company?

First and foremost, it is a truly international project. The company was co-founded by Tamim, based in Bangladesh, and his two associates based in the Netherlands. This was the first step that helped the business acquire clients from Europe.

But they also built this company on an innovative business model, which is often required by the industry of social businesses. It starts, as if often does, from the consideration of a market gap and a social issue. Bangladeshi graduates in IT are numerous and it so happens that part of them have trouble finding a job. Impel IT Solutions acts as a connector between a strong demand in IT Services all around the world and highly-skilled IT graduates who seek employment.

On the other side, the Impel IT Solutions team has made it their mission to train underprivileged people in IT, a sector in which Tamim identified a strong opportunity for a social business to grow. This way, these people who used to remain unemployed now have a very valued set of skills and a job they can be proud of.

The developers who work with Tamim’s team are actually employed by the client companies. They remain based in Bangladesh, which makes it a win-win situation for everyone:

• IT graduates get a great job and international opportunities
• Underprivileged people receive training and work opportunities
• They don’t need to migrate to earn a good paycheck
• Client companies get high-quality IT services at a very affordable price

Let’s also not forget that these actions enable Bangladesh as a nation to build a strong IT sector for itself.
