Founder Profile

Ashraful Alam

Founder & Chairman · Roxanne Corporation

Roxanne Corporation's mandate is simple and disciplined, to build a future-facing institution defined by clarity, technical depth, and long-horizon stewardship. In his own words, he started it because the problems worth solving rarely fit neatly into a job description, and the work since has stayed quiet, focused, and deliberate.

Born and raised in Habiganj, he studied at Habiganj Govt. High School and BAF Shaheen College Dhaka before beginning his undergraduate degree in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at BRAC University, the discipline Roxanne Industries is now being built around.

Outside coursework, his attention is already fixed on power and energy systems, treating the degree as the first deliberate step in a much longer career rather than a formality to get through on the way to something else. Roxanne Corporation grew out of that same instinct, starting early, building the fundamentals properly, and letting the rest compound over time.

Roots

Ashraful grew up around people who built things slowly and carefully, in a home where patience, discipline, and long hours were simply the norm, not something remarkable. That environment didn't hand him anything ready-made; if anything, it set an unspoken standard he's had to learn to meet in his own way, on his own timeline.

Roxanne Corporation is his own answer to that standard, started as an undergraduate, without waiting for a title or a finished résumé to arrive first. What he carried forward wasn't a company or a head start. It was a way of working, build it properly, build it to last, and let the results speak on their own schedule.

The Path So Far

Schooling

Habiganj Govt. High School

Founded in 1883, Habiganj Govt. High School is the oldest and most prestigious institution in the district, and one of the most historic and distinguished schools in the region, a school that has shaped generations of students long before he ever walked through its gates. It's where his own foundation took shape, a rigorous academic footing and an early respect for structured, disciplined progress, built in the same halls that raised the town itself.

College

BAF Shaheen College Dhaka

A move to the capital for continued studies, at a college established in 1960 under the Bangladesh Air Force and known across the country for its discipline and academic rigor. It's here that a general academic strength began sharpening into something more specific, a pull toward engineering, and toward systems thinking as a way of approaching problems.

Present

BRAC University · Electrical & Electronic Engineering

BRAC University was founded in 2001 by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, built from the start on a liberal arts model rather than a narrow technical track. Its Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, established in 2009 under the BSRM School of Engineering, has since built a name for itself in power and energy research, including work with national industry partners and a hand in Bangladesh's first nanosatellite. It's this environment, rigorous, research-driven, and increasingly tilted toward power and energy, that now shapes his day-to-day coursework and gives an early, concrete shape to where Roxanne Industries is headed.

2026

Roxanne Corporation founded

Roxanne Corporation begins early and deliberate, built from first principles rather than a pitch deck. Still in its earliest chapter, with the founder's own academic path only just underway alongside it.

How He Works

Depth over speed.

The timeline bends to the standard, not the other way around. Things here move slower because they're being built to hold up, not to hit a date.

Honest, not polished.

He's still a student, and the company is still young, and this site doesn't pretend otherwise. There's no interest in dressing up something unfinished to look further along than it is.

Systems, not slogans.

An engineer's instinct, turned on Roxanne itself, asking how each piece is structured and why it holds together, not just what it claims to be building.

What's Next

The rest of the story
hasn't been written yet.

Right now, most of his hours belong to Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and that's not incidental. Power and energy are the fields Roxanne Industries is being built around, and they're the ones he means to lead himself, not as a founder standing at a distance but as the engineer actually doing the work, for the length of a full career, not just its opening chapter.

Roxanne Health and Roxanne Agro run beside that, close to the family for now. Nothing about that is permanent. As his own footing firms up and the company earns its own legs, the plan is to take on more direct responsibility for both, in its own time, not on a forced schedule.

Much of what comes after that is still unwritten, on purpose. Where his education and career actually take him will shape Roxanne Corporation more than any roadmap could today, and there's no attempt here to fake a certainty the company hasn't earned yet.

So the job, for now, stays plain. Study. Build quietly. Let the company's history accumulate at whatever pace real things take, not the pace a pitch deck would prefer.
