Otobi

What Otobi does

Otobi is a Bangladesh-based, vertically integrated furniture manufacturer founded in 1975 by Nitun Kundu (Nitya Gopal Kundu) and incorporated as a private limited company in 1984. The company designs and produces home, office, hospital, and interior furniture across categories including bedroom, living, dining, study, storage, office chairs and tables, hospital furniture, and allied products. Manufacturing inputs span melamine laminated board, mild steel, wood, plastic, plywood, and foam, and the company has extended into adjacent categories through sub-brands OTOMAT (mattresses), OTOPLY (plywood), and Apollo (air-conditioning), plus OTOBI Interior design services.

Otobi operates two factories with a combined 900,000 sq ft of floor space: the Shyampur facility (300,000 sq ft, established 1994) producing laminated board, mild steel, chairs, sofas, and plastic furniture, and the Savar facility (600,000 sq ft, established 2008) producing wooden furniture, particle board, plywood, doors, foam, and mattresses. This vertical integration gives Otobi control of multiple upstream inputs (plywood, foam, board) and finished goods under one roof.

The business operates through a multi-channel go-to-market: 15+ company-owned showrooms across Bangladesh, an e-commerce website with online payment integration, and a dedicated corporate sales force serving institutional buyers. Pricing is denominated in BDT and spans a wide range (from BDT 1,270 for plywood up to BDT 4,83,000 for premium bedroom sets and BDT 3,45,000 for large wooden conference tables), reflecting a portfolio that serves mass-market residential customers alongside enterprise and institutional accounts. International expansion has been limited but includes exports to Ukraine (since 1994) and entry into the Indian market (2007). Otobi has received market recognition including the Best Brand Award for No. 1 furniture in Dhaka Metro (2009) and Best Furniture Brand from Brand Forum (2015), and remains privately held under the founding Kundu family.
