Implementation of the plan was not that easy. Moreover, it was all about an innovation and a very new technology. We initiated SUBISU in 2000 A.D. but it took more than two years to take the license from the government. Now, I can say SUBISU has a successful story of 16 years.

These glorious of experience of 16 years is all about our friendship rather than partnership, I say every year our friendship bond is getting stronger. SUBISU so far has worked mixing-up innovation with commercialization. In my view, experience counts, but it is not everything. I'd like to say I have a wonderful life here.

Business is all about profit making. And if you ask me about success, I will say my happy customer is my success, my resources, staff all are my achievements. The day I will have a handful of satisfied customers and rich resources, I will consider myself successful.

I believed in myself, this became a rich source for me to get self-motivated.

If you are hard-working person, skill is simple to acquire. There is no limit of skill you must work hard to achieve anything.

11. What are your likes and dislikes working in the industry?

It is very essential to diagnose the strength and weakness of an organization. I categorized the strength here as; -all staff work as a team and the weakness is; -Power dependent technology.
