Show Notes

In this episode, we're joined by Sarjeena Maodud, a remarkable entrepreneur whose journey spans continents and industries — from her roots in Bangladesh to founding Sheraspace, the country’s first online interior design platform.

We talk about navigating uncertainty, bootstrapping a startup, redefining traditional industries, and building impact at scale. Sarjeena opens up about the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship, leading a growing team, and why staying grounded in purpose has made all the difference.

It’s an honest, insightful conversation about resilience, innovation, and creating something that truly matters.
