One of the top businessmen in Bangladesh, Salman F Rahman, started business in the 1960s. They had a family-owned jute mill. The mill was nationalized by the newly formed government after Bangladesh became independent, in 1971. In the following year, both the brothers established the Bangladesh Export and Import Company Limited, which came to be known as Beximco Group later on. Operations of the group involved exports of seafood and crushed bones to the European countries, including France, the UK, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. They imported medicines in exchange of the foreign currency they received from exports. In 1976, the Rahman brothers became the pioneer of medicine business in Bangladesh by establishing a pharmaceuticals factory, Beximco Pharma. At present, the firm is the leading company in the pharmaceuticals sector. Under the tutelage of Salman F Rahman, the firm planned to expand their operations. He started investing in ceramics, textiles, real estate and media. In due course of time, Beximco Group started growing at an exceptional level. Thousands of people got employment in the company owned by the Rahman brothers. At present, the group employs over over 6 lakh people.

It was in the late 1960s when he completed his graduation from the University of Karachi. Today, he is deemed as one of the most successful businessmen in Bangladesh.
