INTRODUCING

AGILE MINDS CORPORATION

Agile Minds Corporation, founded in 2020 by Mishal Karim, brings together a diverse and dynamic group of companies under one banner, which includes investments in food distribution for large organizations like UNDP, WFP and many more multinational and local conglomerates, along with investments in digital marketing, PR and branding, renewable energy space with cross sectional interests in solar, wind and hydro power generation, dairy production, disinfectant factory, medical products, PPE import and distribution, big data as well as robotics engineering.

The inception of Agile Minds Corporation came to be with focus on a very diverse and talented management team by recruiting and partnering with an extremely talented and adept group of people, celebrating their intelligence and capabilities.

In Asia, a person’s family and origins go a long way to establish credibility. Mishal Karim’s iconic grandfather was the Late Humayun Rasheed Choudhury [HRC].
HRC was posted as a young officer of the foreign service of Bangladesh to the then Pakistani High Commission in India. When West Pakistan and East Pakistan engaged in the liberation war, HRC defected and became the Head of the liberation movement in India. He developed a special relationship with the Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. He traveled around India with the Gandhi family to raise domestic awareness and support for the liberation war in Bangladesh.

Following his success, HRC was posted as an ambassador to Germany after the war. During this time, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, father of the nation, was shot and killed with most of his family members, and a Military regime was established. HRC heroically helped the two surviving daughters, Sheikh Hasina, the current honorable Prime Minister of Bangladesh, and Sheikh Rehana, her younger sister. Having done so, he faced severe repercussions when it became apparent that he was on the army’s ‘kill’ list due to his actions.

However, a second Military Coup saved him. HRC leveraged his relationship with Indira Gandhi and assisted in securing asylum for the last of the Sheikh family in India.

HRC was later awarded critical roles in the Foreign Service, including Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and the United States, followed by Foreign Secretary of Bangladesh. He ended his stint in the Government as the most illustrious Foreign Minister in Bangladesh since he was chosen to be the 41st President of the United Nations General Assembly and later Speaker of Parliament for the first Awami League Government.
His legacy lives on in Mishal Karim, who, although not directly engaged in politics, is a recognized and admired partner for any ventures or projects involving the Government of Bangladesh.
