Side by Side Podcast with Kazi Shafiqur Rahman
He was down to his last $300. His company had failed. His marriage had ended. And still, he refused to give up.
In this episode of Side by Side Podcast by Side, I sat down with Mustafa Al Momin, the founder of Palli Motors, Bangladesh’s first-ever electric car company.
He didn’t just set out to build a car, he was trying to prove to himself that he still could. That rock bottom didn’t have to be the end. That belief, even when it’s hanging by a thread, can still be enough to build something real.
From a 200-square-foot garage to winning a $1 million prize in Abu Dhabi, this is a story about grit, faith, and finding your way back when everything falls apart.
Link to the full episode is in the comments.

What do you do when your father leads a coup, and your whole country turns against your family?
This week, I sat down with Sayd Farook, who fled Bangladesh as a teenager with nothing but a suitcase and $200.
We talked about growing up in exile, returning decades later to rebuild, and the burden of carrying a legacy that shaped a nation’s history, and left scars that still haven’t healed.
Sayd spoke honestly about faith, leadership, ambition… and what it means to love a country that once saw you as an outcast.

What do you do when your own community turns on you?
This week, I sat down with Helal Abbas, someone who’s spent decades in public service, to talk honestly about what that journey has really been like.
He shared what it was like growing up in 70s Britain, getting beaten up just for being Bangladeshi, and later, stepping into politics to fight for the same people who would eventually question his loyalty.
We spoke about race, trust, leadership… and what it feels like when imams you prayed behind start turning against you.
