Answer:
Irfan Alam is an young entrepreneur who set up an organization named Sammaan to help cycle rickshaw workers. Before the organization was formed many rickshaw pullers rented out vehicles from owners and paid daily rent for them. With the efforts of Sammaan, Irfan was able to get loans for the rickshaw pullers so that they can get loans from banks to buy their own vehicles with the organization offering guarantee for the rickshaw pullers. The organisation also helped the rickshaw pullers to increase their profit by offering advertising services in their rickshaws as well as selling products like water, juices, mobile cards etc. The profit from sale and advertisements were shared between the rickshaw pullers and the organization. The organization also provided training to the pullers and education services for their family in the evening. They were also able to give id cards, uniform etc for the pullers. Irfan not only helped the pullers to achieve financial stability but also helped them to become an organized sector. Irfan believes that the cycle rickshaws are the future of urban transportation as they are very eco-friendly. Irfan has been honoured for his entrepreneurship skills in different parts of the world. He attended the Presidential Entrepreneurship Summit at the United States where he met and interacted with Muhammed Yunus, the Bangladeshi Nobel laureate.
