Contexto cultural

In Dhaka, hospitality is paramount. If you say 'Ami pore ashbo' when leaving a dinner, the host will likely insist you stay longer. It's a dance of politeness. Among Bengalis living abroad, this phrase is often used in community WhatsApp groups to signal that someone will join a Zoom call or an event later. In villages, 'coming' (asha) is used instead of 'going' (jawa) because 'going' is associated with death or final departure. 'Ami ashchi' or 'Ami pore ashbo' is spiritually safer.

Don't be too vague
If you really mean to return for a business meeting, add a specific time like 'ami 2-toye ashbo' (I'll come at 2).
