He is the Managing Director of 3S Group of Companies, one of the most innovative group of companies in Bangladesh with business ranging from Construction, Information Technology, Hard ware Manufacturing, Hospitality Service, Finance, Agriculture, and many more.
Although there are many stories about all these individual companies but we will today talk about one of the concerns of the Group,3S Technologies limited, which now has more than 300 retailers in Bangladesh, technically part of the largest surveillance operation in the country, which helps the Bangladesh Police, Army, NSI and other intelligence agencies.

The company has also provided world-class surveillance in the country in several other high ways and everyday they are improving. This has reduced the crime rate by about 30%.

‘Merit Lilin’ IP camera from Taiwan is considered one of the most sophisticated brands in the world. Their products are not consumer-based like Samsung or Huawei. That is why it is not seen in the media or anywhere else. But this brand is made up of world class advanced technology. Zahed Azam, a self-confident entrepreneur in the field of technology, has suggested Taiwan that they want to make these products in Bangladesh. Initially, Taiwan ignored it and said that it is only your dream and technology cannot be shared. They offered 3S to import asa distributoracross the country because there are not enough companies or engineers in Bangladesh to understand this technology. Buthard work, California’s Silicon Valley’s guidelines, determination of the prominent 3S Technologies team under Zahed Azam have proved that they have risen to world-class level and they are capable of producing Taiwanese super brand products by themselves. Today, Lilin has given permission and technology to 3S and Zahed Azam to export in several countries from Bangladesh and to create world-class IP cameras. It can be said for sure that this products made in Bangladesh will enter into the US market soon.
