Mahtab Uddin Ahmed-Robi's Bangladeshi CEO

Three decades have already passed since the start of cell phones in the country. Now three of the four operators are foreign, one is government. An operator has also been shut down. In this long journey, the only Bangladeshi  CEO is Mahatab Uddin Ahmed, who is now leading the country's second-largest operator, Robi Axiata. Malaysia-based telecommunications company Axiata Berhad now owns a majority stake in Robi.


Bangladeshis have shown success in the position of CEO or co-founder in food and commodities merchandising companies, banks or any other foreign institution. Bangladeshi Mahtab Uddin is giving proof of the qualification in the telecommunication company. He has also grained success. Robi, who was in a big loss, is now seeing the face of profit. The digital world is preparing for something bigger in the future by expanding services.
Mahtabuddin is a student of accounting. He has to keep account of the company's money. But how did he get into today's position?
To know how he handles a complex technology company like telecommunications, you have to read the entire article.

His childhood and growing up

Mahtab Uddin was born in the 8th of Dhaka. However, early childhood was spent in Karachi, West Pakistan. The rest of the family returned to Dhaka with the exception of Mahtab Uddin's father at the beginning of the country's independence war. After SSC from Ahmed Bawani Academy, Mahtab Uddin was admitted to Notre Dame College. From there in the Department of Accounting at Dhaka University, towards the end of the year, he finished his studies at Dhaka University and ICMA.

He supposed to be a businessman


Mahtabuddin wanted to be a businessman. There was no businessman in the family. His father also wanted the big boy to go into business. With the goal of doing business, Mahtabuddin joins the job to learn the business. At the outset, he joined the financial institution IDLC to control the financial issues. He joined Unilever for two years, working there for two years. But there he was promoted one by one, doing good work. As a result, the goal of doing business is somewhat distracted. The wish is to completely eliminate it, after marriage. The wife's condition was Fatima's condition, she would not marry a businessman. Mahtabuddin was no longer traded.

He was promoted to Commercial Manager, Ice Cream division in Pakistan under Ulilever. Mahtabuddin said, "I have learned a lot in Pakistan. Hold on, ice cream. When it is sold, the air is like 5 percent of it. Our telecommunications companies are told we sell air. People don't see the air that sells ice cream (laughs). '

A few years later, Mahtab Uddin returned to Bangladesh with the post of Financial Controller. Then go to Dubai. He was in the control of the Group Financial Controller in eight regional countries. Mahtab Uddin said, "There I saw how to manage the business of the group. That was a great experience. ' After staying in Dubai for three years, Mahtabuddin returned to Dhaka to join Unilever again as the National Finance Director.

Finally at Robi


Mahtabuddin joined Robi as CFO in 2010. He became Chief Operating Officer or COO in the 2014. And he became CEO in 2016. The CEO of Robi was then Michael Kuener. He helps Mahtabuddin to become CEO.
He was sent to Harvard University to study before moving to the top post. After completing the course, He had to work for six months in Axiata Malaysia. At this time, Axiata acquired Ncell, Nepal's top operator. Mahtab worked as the project manager for the acquisition of Ncell. From there it was announced that Robi was going to get a Bengali man for the first time as CEO.

Turn Robi into a profitable operator

When Mahtabuddin took charge at Robi, the complexity of integrating Robi-Airtel was going on. The company began to suffer from the integration delay in the 21st. Robi loses market due to registration of biometric SIM. There were also huge losses, which amounted to Tk 600 crore. Robi was the worst year in business terms between 1997 to 2019.


Mahtabuddin successfully consolidated. Robi has taken the lead in launching Four-G (fourth generation Internet services). Under his leadership, Robi started Four-G (4G) in 65 districts. He strengthened the financial base of the organization by reducing unnecessary expenses.

Now, most of the customers are coming to Robi instead of the other operator. Robi catched up about two-third of the customers that have switched operators by (MNP) service in the first three months of its roll-out. (Source-The daily star) 


Mahtab Uddin credited the employees for their success!

The 5 advice of Mahatab Uddin Ahmed


  •  To work in telecommunication
  • Working in a telecommunications company requires a digital mindset. Must be far-sighted. Robi does not take manpower just by looking at academic results. The main consideration is how much digital knowledge he or she has.


  •  You must take risk
  • New things have to be tested. Some could be fail but you will succeed.
  • Deficiency in education
  • What is taught at the university is not satisfactory. In the fourth industrial revolution, people's employment will decline, that's not right. Rather, the concept of efficiency will change.
  • For students
  • Whatever is taught in the university, you have to study it yourself. In the Internet age, knowledge is at hand. Analytics, block chains, IoT (Internet of Things), AI (artificial intelligence) - all they need to know, whether to be a student or a student.
  • Immense potential  
  • There are many new startup companies now using technology. So after completing studies, you can become an entrepreneur if you want young people, not just jobs. In this regard, Robi is helping the youth through various activities.
