Founder and CEO
Eskay Decor and Eskay Eventz
Tell us about your entrepreneurial journey. How did the idea of Eskay Decor and Eskay Eventz become a reality?
My entrepreneurial journey’s roots trace back to my student days when a major knee accident altered the course of my life. It thrust me into a significant academic gap and introduced me to a group of peers who were passionate about all things creative. They immersed themselves in many artistic endeavours, such as design and choreography. Their fervour ignited a flame within me for the vibrant world of creativity.
Subsequently, I found myself working at a renowned furniture store in Gulshan. Their exclusive offerings of contemporary-style furniture crafted from exquisite sea glass captivated me. As my journey progressed, I transitioned into a consulting role, allowing me to explore furniture design, interior decoration, and event planning. My skills flourished, both within the company and through freelance projects. Years of experience bolstered my confidence, leading me to take the leap and embark on my own ventures. Thus, Eskay Decor and Eskay Eventz came to life, and we have flourished for over a decade. The unwavering support and encouragement bestowed upon me by my well-wishers and peers played an integral role in transforming both ventures from mere dreams into tangible reality.
What sets Eskay Decor apart from its peers? How much has it grown over the years?
I always believe in consistent upgrading. Especially when it comes to creativity, the horizon is limitless. So every day, I look up innovative design ideas and take inspiration from them in my projects where it fits right. The same goes for event ideas. I bring variation and uniqueness to my prop design and infuse modernity by exploring diverse themes and tastes. The persistence in adding modernity and exclusivity to the decoration designs is what sets us apart.
As we have managed to bring newness to our creation, our clients have remained content. Today, we are fortunate enough to collaborate with some of the top brands and personalities of the country as we have a holistic approach to our home decor and event planning services.
Please tell us about a project that you are especially proud of.
Each of my projects is dear to my heart. They all hold a special place, but if I had to pick a standout, it would be none other than Bidya Sinha Mim’s wedding extravaganza! We dedicated a whole year to planning and executing this remarkable celebration. Mim had a clear vision for each event, making sure they stood out from the rest. For her wedding, she craved simplicity with a modern twist. So, we embarked on a creative journey, incorporating fresh flowers, subtle colours, and trendy props to bring her contemporary dreams to life. And guess what? We nailed it! Mim’s wedding turned out to be a delightful blend of chic elegance and effortless charm.

What are the biggest challenges to transforming people’s abstract ideas into reality?
Here’s the deal: when it comes to our clients, we bend over backwards to make their dreams come true on their big day. It’s all about putting their needs and visions front and centre! Now, sometimes our clients have over-the-top ideas that are not always feasible, but we try our hardest to make things as close as possible to their vision. Thanks to our efficient communication, we build trust with our clients, and they know we’ve got their back when it comes to executing their dreams. No dream is too big, and no detail is too small for us.
What does the future hold for both ventures?
We have exciting plans for Eskay Decor and Eskay Eventz. If all goes according to plan, I am eager to expand my business into various parts of Dhaka and other major cities. Additionally, we have some incredible collaborations in the works. We are fully committed and optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead.
