In this episode of LightCastle Live, host Zahedul Amin, Managing Director at LightCastle Partners, speaks with Rashedun Nabi, Startup Advisor and Project Lead at e27 Thailand. Nabi is a multidisciplinary professional who navigates development, social enterprise, and tech.
The conversation centres on the importance of career agility, as Rashed shares how moving across sectors—from rural development to the tech industry- helped him stay relevant and continuously grow. He highlights the critical need for lifelong learning, encouraging professionals to embrace tools like AI and ChatGPT as enablers, not threats.
Rashed also underscores the growing value of soft skills, especially communication and professionalism—in an increasingly global and remote workforce. As a digital nomad, he shares productivity strategies, including using tools like Google Calendar and transcription apps to maintain focus and balance.
Drawing comparisons between startup ecosystems in Bangladesh and Thailand, Rashed points to the need for stronger education systems, better policy support, and a founder mindset focused on sustainability.
He closes by emphasising the power of personal branding, urging young professionals to share their journeys and define their narratives in the digital age.
