This country with a dense population is called Bangladesh. Dhaka is considered the city of opportunities. From place to place fortunes differs massively. We have had glorious success in recent years and as Bangladeshi, we are very proud of our statements. Today’s article marks the extraordinary implications of Mostafiz Uddin, another Bangladeshi who joins the backlog of his senior statesmen who are constantly working hard to bring more glory to the country.
This is the second time the Denim Expert top official has made the index.
As part of the Revit 50, an annual list of the most influential denim leaders, Mostafiz Uddin, managing director of Denim Expert, was included. In an article published by Sourcing Journal on October 1, Rivet, the international media authority for denim, announced the publication of its annual denim leadership index. This includes the world’s most influential leaders in the global business of making and marketing denim.
As in previous years, nominations and votes from industry peers determined the Rivet 50. According to the report, more than 16,000 votes were cast online which selected honorees in five categories: execs, designers, supply chains, mills, and agents of change.
Mostafiz Uddin expressed his gratitude and delight in a post on LinkedIn. Mr. Uddin’s quote is mentioned below.
“In recognition of my accomplishments, I am grateful for all the votes that were cast for me. My friends have always believed in me and inspired me to continue my efforts and endeavors to bring about the expected changes in the global fashion industry.”
As an agent of change in 2018, he was also named in the Sourcing Journal’s index of the most influential people, for which he thanked the magazine. Among the 50 players in the 2021 Rivet 50, we find sustainable fashion designers, tech entrepreneurs, philanthropic leaders, and product developers.
