**Speaker Biography:**

I see art not merely as a tool for beauty but as a language of the subconscious, a bridge between the mind and the universe, and a path to inner healing. I have spent over 20 years searching for the essence of humanity in a world where cultural and racial boundaries are mere illusions.

My paintings reflect neural patterns,emotions,and inner energies, brought to life through NFTs to engage with the human mind and soul. By merging neuroscience, art, and technology, I create works that are not just visually captivating but also serve as a medium for expression, solace, and healing for cancer patients and children with autism.

I am a medium between the outer and inner worlds where art is not just an image but a window to the soul and a reflection of a truth beyond words. My mission is to bring this therapeutic art to the world through NFTs,allowing every individual, beyond borders, to rediscover themselves in these colors and perhaps become their own healer.

Sayem Sobhan Anvir, managing director, armed Bashundhara Group from its foundational roots as East-West Property Development (Pvt) in 1987 into a major industrial conglomerate with a presence in over 20 global industries. Under his guidance, Bashundhara Group debuted on the Bangladesh stock exchanges with the launch of Meghna Cement Mills Limited, signaling its transformation into a publicly traded company and setting a precedent for its future expansions.

With a keen insight into modern business dynamics, Anvir has successfully incorporated advanced technology and innovative management strategies across the conglomerate’s operations. His strategic decision to acquire the largest Cutter-Suction dredger in Bangladesh exemplifies his commitment to enhancing the nation’s infrastructure, particularly in projects requiring extensive land reclamation and development.

Anvir’s leadership saw the expansion of Bashundhara’s portfolio into critical sectors, such as energy, with the establishment of Bashundhara Oil and Gas Company Ltd. (BOGCL). This division plays a vital role in the national economy by providing essential petroleum products that support various developmental projects. Additionally, he ventured into the gold processing industry by creating Bashundhara Gold Refinery Limited, aiming to innovate and elevate the precious metals sector within Bangladesh.

In the financial market, Anvir’s strategic foresight led to Bashundhara’s acquisition of a 25% stake in the Chittagong Stock Exchange through ABG Ltd. This significant investment has enhanced the exchange's governance and operational standards, aiding the growth of Bangladesh's capital market ecosystem. He champions a corporate culture that values over 50,000 employees, prioritizing ethical practices and the overall well-being of the workforce, which has cultivated a reputation for Bashundhara as a responsible employer.

Industrial innovation remains a hallmark of Anvir’s tenure. He initiated projects such as Bangladesh’s largest bitumen plant under BOGCL, which has reduced the nation’s dependency on imported bitumen. He is also driving the development of the country's largest oil refinery, aligning with national energy independence and sustainability goals.

Anvir has also significantly impacted urban development, most notably through the establishment of Bashundhara City. This mega shopping complex serves as a commercial hub and has become a cultural landmark in Dhaka, attracting thousands of visitors daily. Additionally, the Bashundhara Sports Complex, which he spearheaded, is Bangladesh's largest indoor sports facility, promoting sports and healthy lifestyles across the community.

To bolster the operational efficiency of the group’s diverse enterprises, Anvir established Bashundhara Logistics, featuring a robust fleet of ships that enhance the group’s logistical capabilities and ensure the efficient and reliable distribution of goods nationally and internationally.

Beyond his corporate achievements, Anvir is committed to philanthropy, particularly in sectors crucial for societal advancement, such as healthcare and education. He supports numerous initiatives that provide essential services to underserved populations, including significant contributions to hospitals, medical colleges, and specialized clinics.

Anvir’s leadership and philanthropic efforts have earned him significant accolades, including the Commercially Important Person (CIP) status from the Government of Bangladesh and recognition from the United States Congress for enhancing business ties between Bangladesh and the USA.

Through strategic leadership, sustainable business practices, and a deep commitment to social responsibility, Sayem Sobhan Anvir has advanced Bashundhara Group’s global stature and significantly contributed to Bangladesh's socio-economic development.
