“Versatility is not doing many things, it’s mastering the art of adaptation. The more shapes you can take, the more worlds you can create.”
Hi, I’m Onindo Ahmed, and this is my story.
I started my creative journey as a cartoonist at Prothom Alo, one of Bangladesh’s leading newspapers, when I was just eight. People called me a prodigy, but I was simply a kid who loved to draw and tell stories.
As I grew up, that passion became purpose. I’ve always been entrepreneurial, turning ideas into projects and projects into ventures, from launching Thinkdemy to founding Yellow Raptor.
Even today, I bring that same curiosity and drive to everything I do. Creativity, to me, is about solving problems with heart and imagination. And deep down, I’m still that kid who loves bringing ideas to life.
versatility fuels greatness.
