Chairman's Vision
Sony – A Proud History of Service
Assalamu Alaikum.
As Chairman of Sony International Ltd., I am proud to have witnessed and contributed to the company’s remarkable journey since the establishment of our first venture, Sony Cinema and Market, in 1986. From the very beginning, Sony has been committed to serving moviegoers, shoppers, and diners, while creating hundreds of employment opportunities for the people of Mirpur.
Since 2010, the company has pursued strategic expansion through innovation and modernisation. This vision led to the development of Sony Square, now recognised as one of Mirpur’s most iconic landmarks. A decade later, we continued to extend the Sony experience to a wider community with our second major project, Time Square in Shamoly, offering customers an exceptional blend of branded shopping and memorable culinary experiences.
Our journey of growth continues with our third project, Icon Village in Savar. Designed to serve both local residents and those passing through the area, Icon Village will offer an elevated destination for haute shopping and fine dining.
Looking ahead, the next forty years will build upon and accelerate this proud legacy of service, Inshallah, as Sony expands its operations, reaches more customers, and creates meaningful employment opportunities for broader communities.
We invite you to join us on this important journey.
Managing Director’s Vision
Service to Customers Through Innovation — The Sony Dream Comes True
I began Sony’s cinema and market operations in 1986 with a simple but ambitious goal: to produce and distribute high-quality films throughout Bangladesh while serving customers in Mirpur with excellence and care.
Nearly four decades later, that dream has evolved far beyond its beginnings. Sony has grown into Sony Square Shopping Mall, a vibrant destination housing the renowned Star Cineplex, restaurants offering multinational cuisines, boutiques showcasing haute couture brands, and Disney-style recreational attractions for children. Through continuous innovation across generations—father and son together—Sony Square has become a landmark, bringing the refined culture of Gulshan to the heart of Mirpur.
As part of Sony’s long-term vision for expansion, a second destination, Time Square, was launched in 2022, offering a similar premium shopping and dining experience to the residents of Shamoly. Today, I am proud to announce that our third project, Icon Village, is currently underway and will soon extend the Sony lifestyle experience to Savar.
As the next generation begins to take the reins of this proud heritage, the Sony haute culture will continue to grow—guided by innovation, rooted in values, and dedicated to serving customers for generations to come.
Keep us in your prayers.
