OUR STORY

The Birth of AIMC Bangladesh: A Journey of Vision, Grit, and Transformation

Every organization has a story. Ours began on June 1, 2012, with nothing but a bold vision and an empty canvas. The name Asian Institute of Media and Communication Bangladesh (AIMC) was first spoken by our late advisor, Kayes Chowdhury, a celebrated writer, director, and actor, whose passion for media and the power of storytelling ignited the spark of what would become AIMC. His belief was simple yet profound: that the right name, the right purpose, and the right people could create waves of change. And so, from zero—no funding, no grand backing—we embarked on a journey.

We didn’t have wealth, we didn’t have foreign donors, but what we had was the conviction that to start something meaningful, all we needed was a space. A space not just in terms of location, but a mental and creative space—a space for ideas, a space for people who believed that media and communication could move society forward. This space wasn’t just a place to work; it was a battleground for change, a cradle for creativity, and a platform for empowerment.

With this, we set out to build. Not just an organization, but a movement. A three-year strategic plan was our blueprint—a plan to reach out to educational institutes, universities, film societies, and marginalized communities, offering creative learning that blended theory with hands-on practice. We rejected the safety net of foreign funding, choosing instead the harder but more meaningful path: becoming a sustainable organization, driven by passion, not dollars.

For over 11 years, AIMC has grown from a fledgling idea into a living, breathing force in the media landscape of Bangladesh. Every step forward was hard-won. We faced opposition, skepticism, and countless obstacles as we fought to establish the importance of media and communication studies in Bangladesh. The path wasn’t easy—challenges loomed at every corner—but we never backed down. With each hurdle, we pushed harder, and with each setback, we found new strength.

Through it all, what kept us moving was a young, passionate team—people who believed that change wasn’t just possible, but necessary. A team that understood that the power of media wasn’t just in telling stories, but in shaping the future, inspiring movements, and creating examples for others to follow.

AIMC Bangladesh wasn’t just born out of an idea—it was born out of passion, persistence, and a desire to transform society, one story, one course, and one challenge at a time. And with every year, we only grow stronger, more committed to our mission, and more certain that we’re here to lead, not follow.
