Chairman, KDS Group
Mr. Khalilur Rahman
Surely every entrepreneur has an amazing story to tell; of their second thoughts, struggles and achievements. They tell of their unwavering belief in their dreams and dedication to create great products and concepts. In this section, we introduce one of many great people and believers, which we have welcomed into our lives without perhaps a second thought. We are about to discover whose dreams and perseverance have built one of the largest business corporations of Bangladesh, employing more than 30,000 people globally. He is the Chairman of KDS Group, Mr. Khalilur Rahman. Starting his journey in business from 1967, his finances were modest whilst his belief in himself was firm. Starting from a small local business, he has taken on everything so many areas of his interest. His love for the struggling people (round about 1983) started his major labor-intensive journey. One such period of him led him to start exploring garments manufacturing facility KDS Garments in Chittagong.
