Established 1979
Four and a half decades of engineering, consumer, retail and property businesses — built in Bangladesh, held to a world-class standard.
Our philosophy
We build people, people build our business.
Twelve thousand colleagues across eleven industries. Everything the group has achieved started with someone we chose to invest in.
Sustainability
Responsible business is profitable business.
The country's first certified organic tea estate, interest-free cattle lending for 50,000 farmers, and a carbon target we intend to beat.
Engineering & Infrastructure
Innovation is the only way to succeed.
Dockyards, structural steel and civil infrastructure delivered across the delta — the engineering backbone of the group since day one.
Community
We rise by lifting others.
The Kazi Shahid Foundation and the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh carry the part of our work that was never meant to turn a profit.
Consumer & Retail
We do not deliver products, we deliver experience.
From the organic tea garden in Panchagarh to the Meena Bazar shelf and the Meena Click doorstep — one standard, end to end.
