Foundation Day Message
from the Chairman
47th Foundation Day Message – Chairman and Managing Director
Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu
I extend my heartfelt appreciation to all members of the United Group family.
Before delving into our future, let’s acknowledge our humble beginnings. United Group was born out of a dream in 1979, evolving into a passion for excellence and value creation for all stakeholders. Over the last 47 years, we have pioneered innovative solutions across power, energy, healthcare, education, retail, and services, consistently adding efficiency and value.
We have suffered the immense loss of our beloved Director, Nasiruddin Akhter Rashid. Nasiruddin, who embodied the traits of diligence, commitment, and the courage to speak the truth no matter the circumstances. That is what each of us should try to emulate: to work with complete dedication, uphold our commitments, and always stand for the truth, regardless of the challenges we face.
Our exceptional teams are the pillars of United Group’s success. I deeply value each member for their dedication and passion, and I extend my gratitude to their families for their continuous support. I also appreciate our customers, partners, and stakeholders for their trust and collaboration. Together, we will continue to create new benchmarks, strive for excellence, and keep creating positive impact for the nation.
Thank you all for being a part of our journey together.

45th Foundation Day Message – Chairman and Managing Director
Dear United family,
Assalamu Alaikum.
In the graceful light of our Creator, I congratulate you all to be united for the 45th year of this institution. May our collective humility fall under His merciful watch.
As we ride the waves of time, we must segment our lives into small, manageable periods of self-evaluations, education, and application. Let us reaffirm those same values that brought us blessings and successes through ever-shifting tides.
As a business establishment, we must always value business goals over operational excellence. Excellence is surely the fuel to the engine of success, but goals drive the vehicle. As a unit, we never compromise our brand value, operational excellence, and commitment for our actions, just as we never compromise regulatory compliances for our goals. Only a balanced approach without tunnel vision can stand the test of time. We must never be so tunneled and caught up in the comfort zone of our designated role that we fail to seek challenges. It is the brilliance of our imperfections when we tackle new challenges that light our path ahead. To err is human, and the acknowledgment of the mistakes we make along that path only make those challenges easier to bear. Acknowledging our weaknesses and striving to mitigate it is where strength lies.
Business goals may change with time, but values remain. Our establishment has never been stagnant in its stride, and we must always sustain its adaptive capacity. Our esteemed superiors and their diligent subordinates must not only participate in harmonious coexistence but also a symbiotic relationship of trust, integrity, and dependency. Regardless of how little or big the contribution may be, each participant must take full ownership of their position. Allah SWT has graced our establishment so that we remain free of stress from financial constraints and bureaucratic setbacks. This sets us up perfectly in the position to be devising bold, new strategies for seizing new opportunities. By the grace of Almighty we have survived COVID-19, and with His mercy we shall continue to rise above many such trials as long as we manage to adapt and stay ahead of the curve. We should try to be a family and help each other at times of need. United we stay strong, happy, and peaceful. Focusing on the quality of life, not only for ourselves or our stakeholders, but for the country as a whole.
May we find strength in our conviction, purpose in our step, and self-actualization in our perspectives. May the United family remain a united family.
Sincerely yours.
44th Foundation Day Message – Chairman and Managing Director
Assalamu Alaikum.
Dear Well-wishers and Members of the United Family.
On this auspicious day, I would begin with offering my heartfelt gratitude to Allah SWT for His continuous blessings. It is by His mercy that in our 44 years of journey, there has never been one single day on which we felt that we were not moving forward. We have had difficult times, but our blessings have been beyond our expectations, and we have overcome difficulties.
I thank the Founding Members of the Board, with utmost reverence, for they have built an institution that has survived stalwartly throughout its 44 years of operations. Their unique abilities to become pioneers in key development sectors of the country has set new benchmarks and have benefitted the citizens of this nation, improved socio-economic conditions and have contributed to the GDP growth of our Country.
I thank the Founding Members of the Board for their timely roll-out of the succession plan and transition to second generation. I also take this opportunity to recognize and appreciate the invaluable contributions of the Founding Members to the underprivileged faction of the society through United Trust. It is a shining example of structured social services in this country. On behalf of the second generation, I promise to remain committed to the vision of the Founding Members in fulfilling our social obligations.
As we embark on this journey, in retrospect, our company has managed well to maneuver the crisis resulting for the pandemic. We are continuing strong by the infinite blessings of the Almighty and I am happy to report that the vast majority of our workforce afflicted by the virus have recovered.
This day marks the beginning of another year during which we renew our pledge to further strengthen the position of our Group. We vow to remain committed to the vision of the Founding Members of the Board, where we will continue to honor our commitments and contribute to the betterment of our society as a whole. We wish to remain in the position of a key contributor driving further development in Bangladesh and we will continue investing in our nation. Fulfilling this vision will demand innovation, dedication, adaptation, discipline, best in class service, but above all, an increased ownership of responsibility by each of our colleagues. I urge all my colleagues to start tackling responsibilities with the mindset of completing with dedication and sincerity. I hope that we may all share in each other’s success through our own dedication, trust and commitment. Commitment through which our business partners, shareholders and clientele will be inspired to place their faith and trust in United Group.
I thank all members of the United Family for your hard-work and contributions that have brought us to this day and I seek the same dedication and sincerity in the days and years that follow.
May Allah continue to shower His infinite Mercy and Blessings on us all and give us the strength and capacity to ever persevere through these trying times.
Best Regards,
