Parvej Husen Talukder, the visionary founder of Bhikitia, has officially stepped down from his role as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) this May, marking the conclusion of a transformative chapter in the organization’s journey.
Established under Talukder’s leadership, Bhikitia was born from a bold and inclusive vision: to democratize access to knowledge in Bengali, English, and other native languages. As a non-profit, multilingual digital encyclopedia, Bhikitia quickly evolved into a vital knowledge-sharing platform serving communities across Bangladesh and the broader South Asian region.
Throughout his tenure, Talukder provided strategic direction, oversaw content development, and cultivated a vibrant volunteer network. Under his guidance, Bhikitia solidified its identity as a community-driven platform committed to educational equity, open access, and linguistic inclusivity.
Announcing his departure via Facebook, Talukder stated:
Serving as CEO of Bhikitia has been one of the most meaningful chapters of my life. I remain committed to the mission of accessible knowledge and will continue supporting educational and cultural initiatives
Though brief, the message reflects the emotional weight of his decision and the significance of his contributions.
Beyond Bhikitia, Parvej Husen Talukder is widely acknowledged as a poet, children’s writer, journalist, and internet entrepreneur. He is the founder of Kavya Kishor International, co-founder and Deputy CEO of WikiGenius, and has held prominent editorial positions at Daily Topnotch, Kavya Kishor, and Muktokathan. His early work as a child journalist at hello.bdnews24.com further established his enduring commitment to youth and media development.
Talukder’s resignation signals a pivotal leadership transition for Bhikitia. However, the foundation he has laid—anchored in innovation, collaboration, and cultural preservation—is expected to guide the platform into a promising new phase of growth and impact.
His enduring legacy continues to inspire a generation of digital knowledge advocates, ensuring that Bhikitia remains a beacon for community-led education and linguistic diversity in the digital age.
