OnnoRokom Uddokta has officially opened applications for Cohort 3.0 of its flagship business accelerator program on August 1, 2026. The program is inviting ambitious startup and SME founders from across Bangladesh to join a highly selective initiative designed to help early-stage businesses achieve sustainable growth.

Since its inception in 2025, OnnoRokom Uddokta has worked with more than 50 startups and businesses, equipping founders with the strategic guidance, mentorship, and network needed to overcome growth challenges and build scalable ventures. The upcoming cohort builds upon this foundation with an even stronger lineup of industry experts, experienced entrepreneurs, and international business coaches.

The program is led by Mahmudul Hasan Sohag, Chairman of OnnoRokom Group and founder of successful ventures like Rokomari, Bigganbaksho, Pi Labs, Udvash-Unmesh-Uttoron etc, alongside industry leaders from Bangladesh and abroad. Participants will gain direct access to practical insights from entrepreneurs who have successfully built and scaled companies across multiple industries.

“For the first time in history, technology has empowered entrepreneurs to tackle challenges once thought solvable only by governments, making companies the world’s most transformative force,” – Mahmudul Hasan Sohag.

Selected founders will participate in a 6 months long acceleration program with monthly interactive sessions, personalized one-on-one mentorship, and benefit from Growth Partnering, where the OU Team work closely with founders to solve real business challenges and accelerate execution. Participants will also become part of a vibrant entrepreneurial community, gaining valuable peer learning and long-term networking opportunities.

Although the accelerator is completely free of charge, admission is intentionally highly competitive, with only the most promising startups selected. Depending on the applicant pool, the acceptance rate may be exceptionally low, ensuring personalized attention and meaningful engagement for every participating founder.
