Dr. Dewan Aminul Islam Shahin added, “Our president Sayem Sobhan Anvir is working relentlessly to bring back the golden era of gold industry. The top leadership of Bajus is rushing to different parts of the country to resolve administrative issues. Sayem Sobhan Anvir, Managing Director (MD) of Bashundhara Group, the country’s top industrial conglomerate, is working with the conviction to make the jewellery business a role model for Bangladesh.
He is working tirelessly to develop the gold industry into a modern industry. Along with that he wants to bring all the members or traders of Bajus under one umbrella and organize Bajus and all jewellery traders. To do legitimate business, one must be a member of a legitimate organization; and that is Bangladesh Jewellers Association.”
