Multimode Group is one of Bangladesh’s leading business conglomerates, with a dynamic presence across a wide range of sectors including agriculture, banking, insurance, consumer goods, energy, hospitality, food & beverage, manufacturing, real estate, textiles, transportation, chemicals and fertilizers, plastics, IT, and telecom.
Founded in 1981 by Abdul Awal Mintoo, two-time President of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industries, Multimode has been a pioneer in shaping the country’s private sector. From launching Bangladesh’s first private natural gas exploration ventures to establishing the nation’s first private-sector seed research lab, the Group has consistently driven innovation and growth across critical industries.
With a legacy of innovation and a forward-looking vision, Multimode Group continues to play a vital role in Bangladesh’s journey toward becoming a middle-income nation. Our diversified portfolio is strategically positioned to grow alongside the country’s evolving economy—driving progress, creating opportunities, and building a better tomorrow.
“To capitalize on emerging opportunities, we have to become defiant dreamers. We must defeat the ‘arrogance of imperial nature’ which is the main cause of poverty and instability in our society today. Our dream may be unrealistic, but it is only dreams that can create a vision — and a mission.”
–Abdul Awal Mintoo, Chairman, Multimode Group
