Jhalak is the first individual from the country’s fintech industry to earn this award in the leadership category from the prestigious publication, Nagad said in a statement.

Maruful Islam Jhalak oversees the technical aspects of the company. Jhalak is a tech visionary and architect who played a vital role in the implementation of revolutionary concepts such as E-KYC and D-KYC.
