AKHTAR Group

What AKHTAR Group does

AKHTAR Group, operating commercially as Akhter Furnishers, is a Bangladesh-based furniture manufacturer and retailer headquartered in Baridhara, Dhaka. The company sells a unified catalog of custom knockdown and made-to-order furniture spanning two principal product lines: a Home Catalog for residential living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces, and an Office Catalog targeting commercial buyers with workstations, desks, and storage units. Core operations encompass in-house design, manufacturing, and finishing, with technician-led installation available within 48 hours of delivery for knockdown furniture.

The business model is one-time direct furniture sales through two channels: a physical showroom in Dhaka and an e-commerce storefront at akhtar.com.bd. Pricing is quote-based with mandatory terms of 50% advance payment at order and the remaining balance due at least 48 hours prior to delivery, accepting cash, bank transfers, mobile banking (Nagad, bKash), credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), and cheques processed via SSLCommerz. The company differentiates on warranty coverage — 12 months on material and manufacturing faults plus 5 years against wood-louse (termite) attack — alongside a 6-month order validity window and a non-cancellable customized-order policy that improves cash flow visibility. Primary customers are individual residential consumers, with secondary demand from business and office clients procuring commercial furnishing solutions. The company has approximately 202 employees, is privately held, and operates exclusively within Bangladesh.
