Hamidur Rashid


This warm spirited young man (age 28) was born in Bangladesh and was raised in the Middle East. He has been on a fast track to "making a difference" with every opportunity he has gotten. He's a double majored graduate from Purdue University under two of the toughest degree plans in the school of Engineering in a smoking gun speed of 3 years. Hamid gave back to the student community there by engaging as the vice president of the Bangladeshi Student Association. He was already playing the real estate market by the age of 23 in Texas and made a resonating imppression at Schumberger as one of their top consultants after graduation.

Now at the Duke Business School, he is leaving an ever lasting mark by rejuvenating the International Business Club, consulting in South Africa and Zambia over beginning of the summer 2006, before he returned home to be an intern at Grameen. He just created and stirred the primodial soup to form Duke's first Micro-finance/ micro-credit society. He is already sitting on panels at different organizations and representing Duke at Global conferences. With this kind of a track record, Hamid comes with a promise to make the world a better place through economic development in developing countries esp. Bangladesh. His other passions include Robotics, dance and R&B music.
