Rafee Mahmood on how Mahmud Group is handling challenges amid COVID-19

Established in 2006, Mahmud Group is one of the most respected names in Bangladesh RMG industry. Fully vertical, from spinning to finished garments, the Group has a number of well-established entities under its umbrella. Apparel Resources caught up with Rafee Mahmood, the young and dynamic Director of the Group, to discuss in detail various issues pertaining to COVID-19, and what the company is doing to effectively tackle the challenges (that the pandemic has brought with it) and maintain its relevance in such trying times. “This pandemic has taught us a very good lesson. The mistake most of us have done is putting all our eggs in one basket. We need to diversify; both our supply chain as well as our selling should be spread out to more diverse destinations in order to minimise risk. From this learning, our management is continuously searching for more alternatives. Another lesson is – we had taken the world for granted. We all should do our part in saving back the planet, and bring products that the Earth loves; our development teams are continuously developing products which are friendlier to mother Earth,” he told us.
