The Story Behind SRM GROUP OF INDUSTRIES
Our Journey
The journey of SRM GROUP OF INDUSTRIES began from a small village marketplace beside the beautiful Madhumati River in Gopalganj, Bangladesh. Long before the establishment of the group, the founder’s family operated a traditional grocery business in the local market of Kushli Union under Tungipara Upazila since the early 1980s.
From an early age, the founder, Sheikh Raj Hasan Raja, became directly involved in the family business. While studying in school, he regularly spent time at the shop after classes and gradually learned the fundamentals of business, customer service, responsibility, and entrepreneurship. By the year 2000, he had already started managing much of the business operations independently due to his father’s busy schedule. Those early experiences inspired a dream — to one day build a large and respected business group in Bangladesh similar to the country’s leading corporate organizations.
With bigger ambitions and a vision for growth, Sheikh Raj Hasan Raja moved to Dhaka in 2004 to pursue new business opportunities. After arriving in the capital, he rented a computer shop at Muktijoddha Market near Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport and Hajj Camp area. The business was established under the name “Madhumati Computer,” inspired by the Madhumati River near his hometown. Within a short period of time, the business became well-known and popular in the airport area for its services and professionalism.
As experience, confidence, and business activities expanded, the founder diversified into several sectors including import-export, contracting, real estate, and security services. During this period, a new corporate identity was created — “SRM.”
The name “SRM” was formed from the initials connected to the founder’s family heritage and values:
-
S = Sheikh
-
R = Rajob
-
M = Mageda
These initials were chosen as a symbol of family unity, dedication, struggle, and inspiration. From that moment, the name “SRM” became the foundation of what is now known as SRM GROUP OF INDUSTRIES.
Over the years, the group expanded into multiple sectors and obtained licenses and approvals for various business ventures and institutions, including media, television, hospitals, medical colleges, educational institutions, construction, finance, security services, and social organizations. The founder also became involved with a private university project in Bangladesh through investment and management experience, which further strengthened his long-term vision in the education sector despite facing financial challenges and business setbacks along the way.
Today, SRM GROUP OF INDUSTRIES represents a growing Bangladeshi business group with ambitions to contribute to national development through education, healthcare, media, infrastructure, finance, technology, and social initiatives.
The group has also taken initiatives for future projects including:
-
Medical College & Hospital
-
University and Educational Institutions
-
Television & Media Networks
-
Construction & Development
-
Finance & Investment
-
Security Services
-
Social & Recreational Clubs
One of the notable social initiatives includes the approval of “President Club,” envisioned as a modern and prestigious club platform.
