Nipa aka Sakeyra

Business Development Advisor (Innovation & Marketing)

^{_{From Bangladesh to Norway}}

^{Four years ago, I made the life-changing decision, trading the warmth of Bangladesh for the enchanting landscapes of Norway. Leaving behind comfort and certainty, I embraced the unknown, arriving in Bodø}^{amidst the challenges of COVID-19. Despite facing the impacts of COVID, the distance from home, and enduring the darkness of winter, I stood firm.}

Before my MBA, I lacked direction. I followed my sister’s lead and enrolled at North South University, one of Bangladesh’s top private universities. Little did I realize, this decision would ignite a profound transformation within me. During my MBA in Marketing, I found my passion for learning and growth. Beyond the classroom, I valued practical experiences; I experienced a metamorphosis. My MBA journey has been the epitome of personal and professional development.

“My internship at Bønner i byen was my first introduction to the Norwegian market and customer culture. But more importantly, it helped me rediscover my lost confidence.”

Love in the Unexpected

Now, I call Norway home. I’ve found love and got engaged.
When we met, I finished my masters and ticket on my hand to home, and he was moving to different city. Within a week both of us just decided to stay here, in Bodø.

We enjoy each other’s company, cooking together, attending dance classes, walking into forest, watching formula 1 and supporting each other in our respective careers.
