Grameenphone, a pioneer in promoting gender equality and women empowerment, is thrilled to announce the launching of the fourth chapter of its signature mentorship program – Platform SHE.

The grand launch of ‘Platform SHE 4.0’ took place on May 18, 2023, marking the beginning of an exciting journey for the promising female candidates, said a press statement.

Platform SHE comes as a testament to Grameenphone’s unwavering commitment to nurture the next generation of female leaders, equipping them with the support and guidance they need to thrive in an ever-evolving world.

Platform SHE 4.0 has identified 15 exceptional female talents within Grameenphone who will serve as mentors. Each mentor has been thoughtfully paired with a female mentee from a pool of outstanding candidates, who are representing 11 different universities across the country.

The mentees were chosen through a rigorous and comprehensive selection process, ensuring that the most talented and hard-working young women received the opportunity to participate in this exclusive transformative experience.

Platform SHE 4.0 has been designed to create a nurturing and empowering environment, where young women can thrive and turn their dreams into reality. By connecting mentees from diverse academic backgrounds and universities, the program fosters collaboration, networking, and the exchange of ideas.
