A deep appreciation for Kazakhstan's cultural heritage, a passion for creating unique designs, and a commitment to preserving national traditions laid the foundation for the successful business of entrepreneur Gulbanu Kamysbayeva. Today, the Banu Tulegen brand is recognized far beyond the Mangystau Region for its exclusive collections of contemporary national clothing.

In 2017, Gulbanu completed professional tailoring training and began working at an atelier. Encouraged by the experience she gained and confidence in her skills, she opened her own atelier just a few months later. To ensure the highest quality, she traveled to Dubai to source premium fabrics and to China to purchase modern sewing equipment. The company officially launched in 2019 with an initial investment of approximately KZT 3 million, starting the business together with a partner. From the very beginning, Banu Tulegen has specialized in modern national clothing that combines traditional Kazakh motifs with contemporary fashion trends. One of the brand's signature features is its exclusive collections decorated with innovative 3D ornaments inspired by Kazakhstan's rich cultural heritage. Over the years, the business has grown significantly. The team has expanded from three to six employees, while active promotion through social media has attracted customers from across Kazakhstan. Today, the brand regularly participates in major exhibitions and fashion shows.

            A significant milestone in the company's development was the support provided by the Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund. Under the National Entrepreneurship Development Project for 2021–2025, the entrepreneur received an interest rate subsidy through Bank CenterCredit JSC. With the entrepreneur's loan rate reduced to 8%, the company was able to purchase and renovate its own premises, expand production, grow its customer base, and receive orders from all regions of Kazakhstan. Among Gulbanu Kamysbayeva's greatest achievements are participation in an international fashion show in Tashkent and becoming a member of the World Designers Association, recognizing her contribution to the development of contemporary Kazakh fashion. Looking ahead, she plans to further expand the brand and introduce Kazakhstan's national fashion to international markets. According to Gulbanu Kamysbayeva, success belongs to those who never give up in the face of challenges.

             "If you have started your own business, never stop because of difficulties. Keep moving forward with confidence—persistence is the key to great achievements."
