THE JOURNEY
From a village field to a factory floor
No inheritance, no capital, no shortcut — only a habit of work and a refusal to compromise on quality.
1962
Born in Sirajgonj
Born on 22 November 1962 at Sirajgonj Sadar, the son of a farmer. Village life set the terms early: what you wanted, you worked for.
1970s
School, and a contract on the side
He studied in Sirajgonj, and during his study years signed work as a road contractor — earning while learning, years before anyone would have called it a business.
1985
A small business in Dhaka
After completing his education he came to Dhaka and started small, working as a marketer — carrying goods, learning shopkeepers, learning what buyers actually trust.
1990
A partnership at home and at work
He began building the business together with his wife, Mrs. Zaheda Islam — her creativity beside his persistence.
1998
From selling to making
He ventured into manufacturing, committing the company to quality products. His hard work made the business well known to customers and users across the country.
2014
29 January
He died of kidney-related disease, far too early. The group he founded carries on under the standard he set.
IN HIS OWN STANDARD
“Quality first. If the product is honest, the customer comes back on their own.”
The principle he held from his first sales route in 1985 to the last factory line he built.
THE PARTNERSHIP
Built by two, together

FOUNDER & EX MANAGING DIRECTOR
Born 22 November 1962 · Sirajgonj Sadar

Born into a farming family in Sirajgonj, he took road-contracting work while still a student to fund his own education. He completed his studies in 1985 and began as a marketer in Dhaka with a small trading business. In 1998 he moved into manufacturing, committing the company to quality products — the reputation his own hard work carried to customers across the country. He died on 29 January 2014 after illness related to his kidneys.

Mrs. Zaheda Islam
CHAIRMAN
Born 05 January 1970 · Sonargaon, Narayanganj

Daughter of a Narayanganj businessman, she studied in Narayanganj before marrying Md. Nazrul Islam Sarker. From 1990 she built the business alongside her husband, and moved with him into manufacturing in 1998. Her own hard work carried the company’s name to customers and users nationwide, and she leads today with the same focus on creativity that shaped the brands from the beginning.

WHAT HE LEFT US
The values still running the factory
01
Quality is not negotiable
He was always focused on quality — the one thing he never traded away for a cheaper margin.
02
Work before words
The business grew on his own effort, not on capital he was handed. Reputation followed the work.
03
Made for ordinary homes
Everyday products at prices ordinary Bangladeshi families can afford, without asking them to accept less.
Remembered by every colleague who worked beside him, and every family that keeps his products in the kitchen.
Md. Nazrul Islam Sarker · 22 November 1962 — 29 January 2014. His premature passing remains a loss felt across the group he founded.
