We have to dream and work hard, only then success will come at some point. We have to keep our patience in this pandemic. Looking forward to seeing the good days ahead, he said, “Hopefully, the situation will return to normal, and business will be as strong as ever.” In an exclusive interview, MA Razzak Khan Raj, Chairman, Minister-MyOne Group, and Director, FBCCI, spoke about the current situation and the Minister’s journey and plans.
Talking about the beginning of the journey of the Minister-MyOne group at that time, he said, “Even though we started the journey with black and white television at the very beginning, we did not have to wait long to achieve our success.” After the success of black and white television, I started working to bring low cost and low voltage televisions to the doorsteps of the people. After that, the journey of color television started. At that time, MyOne Television is the only brand that gave a 7-year warranty in Bangladesh.
Initially, we were known as MyOne but, we kept thinking about how to reach people with a new name. Then we chose the name Minister, which by the grace of Allah is now appreciated by all.
The journey of a dream project started on June 1, 2002, in a small factory in Mohammadpur with only 5 colleagues and capital of 5 lac taka. After studying and working in Mechanical Engineering from Singapore, he returned to the country and started dreaming of a local multinational brand. Today he is at the pinnacle of his success due to his hard work and diligence. He surprised everyone by bringing one new product after another to the market. MA Razzak Khan Raj is the dreamer who believes in constant reshaping the electronics sector; by doing this in the course of time he has gradually become a name of confidence today.
MA Razzak Khan Raj said that the Minister TV can protect the eyes from damage as these TVs are made by eye Protective Technology. It has high-quality panels, so the panels will not be damaged by lightning. This TV also has 4K and Full HD resolution. It can also be used as a computer monitor. 2 free remotes and a wall hanger comes with Minister TV. The Minister TV has a 7-year warranty and a 4-year panel guarantee with a 1-year replacement guarantee.
Besides TV he also came up with a built-in stabilizer-enriched energy-saving refrigerator, which is already able to meet the demand of the people. And the demand for these cost-effective low voltage refrigerators is increasing day by day in the market. Customers can enjoy a 12-year guarantee on this fridge compressor.
The popularity of technology advanced fridge encouraged young leader MA Razzak Khan to bring air conditioners to the market. He said the minister is producing air conditioners that are energy-saving, inverter, and complying with ES technology. Like the refrigerator, AC compressors also have a 12-year guarantee.
In addition to all these products, he brought various electric home appliances including a blender, rice cooker, etc to the market.
After the Covid-19 hit, MA Razzak Khan introduced “Minister of Human Care” to the market mainly to ensuring hygiene and healthcare for mass people. Minister has introduced 6 new brands consisting of different products. The products are divided into 6 Brands namely “Safety Plus”, “Easy Wash”, “Chaad”, “Hexin”, “Care and Care” and “Flash”.
“Safety Plus” includes hand wash, glass cleaner, floor cleaner, hand sanitizer, and veggie wash. “Easy Wash” includes detergent powder, laundry soap, and a liquid detergent.

Also, when the country was facing a face masks scarcity and low-quality masks started selling at high prices, he quickly brought a machine from abroad for making masks by thinking of the people of this country. He started supplying 3-layer masks including melt blown at affordable prices in the market. Which has already been approved by the drug administration and appreciated by the people.
The young progressive businessman expressed hope even in time of the country’s economic downturn in the corona epidemic. MA Razzak Khan Raj said, “All the products of the Minister-MyOne Group are produced in our own factory, where the young, talented, enthusiastic workers of our country have worked together for the country, for the people of the country with their maximum efforts. Even in such epidemics, our staff has worked with utmost care and dedication. I think our company has been playing an important role in the country’s economy in any situation for over the past 18 years. ‘Amar Pono Amar Desh, Gorbo Bangladesh’ – let’s move forward by cherishing this slogan. The government is already doing a lot for the employment of the people they have already declared around BDT 72,750 crore to offset the economic losses in the situation. In addition, the government has provided various loans to local industrialists and entrepreneurs, such as location facilities in BSIC industrial cities, which have helped to strengthen the economy of Bangladesh.”
He appreciated the government for their efforts and called upon all members of the business owners association to work with the government. ♦
