• July 2005

Iqbal Quadir povesteşte cum experienţele sale de copil sărac în Bangladesh şi mai târziu de bancher în New York l-au determinat să înfiinţeze o companie de telecomunicaţii mobile ce conectează 80 de milioane de oameni din zonele rurale ale Bagladesh-ului - şi să devină un promotor de frunte al dezvoltării de jos în sus.
