His professional journey began in 2019, when he entered the media industry as a model and social creative interlocutor. Like many young talents, he faced the early struggles of rejection, long hours, and uncertain opportunities. Around this time, he also worked as a Sales Executive at Tasty Treat. It was an odd job compared to his bigger dreams, yet he embraced it, learning valuable lessons in sales, customer relations, and perseverance. These early experiences taught him the importance of patience and resilience—qualities that would later guide him into entrepreneurship.

Through persistence and creativity, Meraz became a sought-after professional model, completing dozens of television commercials (TVCs) and online video commercials (OVCs).

His ability to authentically connect with audiences and represent brands with integrity made him a familiar name in advertising.

In 2024, Meraz transformed his long-held vision into reality by founding his first business, Paye Hype. What began as a personal dream quickly grew into a brand that imports and delivers sneakers and shoes for both men and women, bringing global trends to Bangladesh. For Meraz, Paye Hype is not just a retail venture—it is a value-based business model built on sustainability, creativity, and inclusivity. His passion lies in redefining sneaker culture in Bangladesh, empowering youth to express themselves with confidence, and proving that style can also stand for purpose.

Beyond his career, Meraz has been deeply committed to humanitarian causes. He has been actively involved with Care Bangladesh and As-Sunnah Foundation, organizations that focus on social welfare and community development. As an active member of Evaluation360, Meraz was also worked for women’s empowerment and women’s rights, highlighting his belief in equality and justice.

Meraz’s story is not just about success but about resilience. From his early modeling struggles, to working odd jobs, to building his own business, every step shaped him into who he is today. In the highly competitive media industry, he endured years of uncertainty, financial struggles, and the emotional toll of rejection. Yet, instead of giving up, he turned those hardships into fuel for growth.
