Championing Youth & Sports: How Fakir Group is Inspiring the Next Generation

From the report

When we think about the textile and apparel sector, we usually picture modern factories, export milestones, and global fashion trends. But for Fakir Group, true industry leadership goes far beyond business. It is about giving back to society and building a brighter future for our youth. Recently, Fakir Group proved this dedication once again by stepping up as the Title Sponsor for the exciting Glenrich Inter-School Football Tournament 2026, hosted by Glenrich International School, Satarkul.

The opening ceremony at the Glenrich International School auditorium was an absolute celebration of energy, color, and youthful spirit. Bringing together 18 top schools from across Dhaka, the event felt like a true festival of sports and unity. From lively school band performances to colorful flag displays and dance acts, the atmosphere was electric. For readers of Textile Focus, it is wonderful to see how corporate leaders like Fakir Group are creating positive, healthy platforms where young students can shine outside the classroom.

A major highlight of the opening day was the inspiring speech by Mr. Suman Kanti Singha, Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) of Fakir Group. Speaking directly to the eager young athletes, teachers, and parents, he shared a powerful message about teamwork and character: “Remember that football is much more than just winning or losing a match. It is a school of life. Play hard, but play fair. Play tough, but never play rough.” His words struck a chord with everyone, encouraging the players to value sportsmanship and respect above all else.
