Sazzad is the founder and CEO of SDI Academy, a social enterprise that provides affordable English communication and computer programmes to migrant workers in their native language.
Till date, SDI Academy has helped over 300 migrant workers from the construction, shipping and manufacturing industries get over challenges they faced in their daily lives due to their poor command of English.
Sazzad’s startup has been featured in The Straits Times, Channel News Asia, and was even mentioned in a speech by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. In 2015, he was invited to give a TEDx talk about his work on social entrepreneurship.
He currently runs his workshops at Yale-NUS College, along with two Yale-NUS students who are part of his core team.
