History

[edit]

In 1988, Shanta entered the ready-made garment (RMG) sector, becoming one of the pioneers in exporting RMGs with companies such as Shanta Garments Ltd, Shanta Industries Ltd, Shanta Wash Works Ltd, GDS Chemicals Ltd, and Shanta Denims Ltd. In 2010, the group decided to focus on real estate development instead of the RMG sector and the group consequently sold their stake to Dewhirst Group Limited.[3][4][5]

In 1997, Shanta Group merged some of their assets with Tropica Group and Sepal Group to form STS Group.[6] STS Group is the owner of Evercare Hospital Dhaka, International School of Dakar, and the DPS STS Schools, Dhaka.[6]

Some of the company's notable projects include the Safura Tower, Shanta Western Tower at Tejgaon,[7] International School Dhaka (ISD) at Bashundhara, and Delhi Public School at Uttara. Shanta Holding was also involved in the construction of Evercare Hospital Dhaka. Shanta is building Shanta Pinnacle, 40 storied, and Shanta Forum Twin Towers.[8] It constructed the building of Amari Hotel Dhaka.[9]
