Hiring women for managerial positions in restaurants is relatively a newly introduced phenomenon in our country. But Shaad Tehari Ghor, situated in Lalmatia, founded by Shahida Begum, has been practicing the hiring of women since it's inception in 1995.
Initially, Shaad was run by Shahida and a few of her relatives. She has recently handed over the responsibility to her niece, Samshin Nahar, to look after it.
