Life is the place of versatile experiences, being connected with family, close friends, nature and exploration. People with success in mind look for continuous development and importantly it’s not getting success overnight.
Iffat Jahan Tonima is one of those personalities who is a devoted Engineer with a strong mind for entrepreneurial career too.
What was your purpose behind opening a “Business Page” named “Pamper Yourself”?
As a student, I always wanted to build a career path for myself beyond traditional engineering. I have a strong passion for makeup and skincare, and I wanted to turn that passion into something meaningful and productive. That’s why I decided to start “Pamper Yourself” to create a platform where I could follow my interests while also building my own independent business.
How do you feel now as the business has grown so well in a short span of time?
First of all Alhamdulillah, I feel truly blessed and at the same time very proud of how far my business has come in such a short period. I have been putting in consistent hard work to grow it, so seeing positive results is very rewarding. Above all, I am deeply grateful to the Almighty for giving me the opportunity, strength, and support to achieve this progress.
What are your business hacks and how do you market your products and how do you make all the transactions recorded?
I believe there is no shortcut or hack to success in business but honesty and quality are the key principles I follow. I always focus on providing authentic and high-quality products to my customers while maintaining transparency in my dealings.
For marketing, I rely on building trust with my audience and showcasing my products in a genuine way through online platforms. I also have a dedicated team of moderators and a business partner who support me in managing operations.
To ensure proper financial management, we maintain all transaction records systematically using Excel, which helps us keep everything organized and transparent.
What is the most interesting thing you find in CSE?
The most interesting thing I find in CSE is how it allows us to solve real-life problems using technology. I like the idea of building systems, automating tasks, and creating something useful from scratch. It also gives me the flexibility to apply my knowledge in different fields, including my own business, which makes it even more meaningful to me.
What are your suggestions for CSE students?
I would say that you don’t have to be a topper to succeed in CSE. I’m not someone who has always been academically perfect, but I believe in continuous improvement. My suggestion would be to stay consistent, focus on building practical skills, and never give up even if things feel difficult. CSE is a field where skills, creativity, and problem-solving matter a lot, so students should focus on learning and growing at their own pace.
Where do you want to see you in the next one year? And in the next 5 years?
In the next one year, I don’t expect any miracles. I simply want to see steady growth in my business and some improvement in my content creation as well. Alongside that, one of my main goals is to successfully complete my graduation.
In the next five years, I want to establish my identity as a successful woman entrepreneur as well as a successful corporate professional. I aim to build my own brand and eventually open my own physical shop, turning my business into something bigger and more impactful.
One piece of advice for everyone?
My advice would be to believe in yourself and stay consistent. You don’t need to be perfect or the best from the beginning, what really matters is your hard work and dedication. If you stay focused and keep going, you will eventually reach your goals.
