Chairman & Managing Director of HSMM Group of Companies
Soukthavy Chowdhury, also known as Sadik, joined the HSMM Group of Companies in 2002. His dedication, passion for learning, and hard work quickly propelled him up the corporate ladder. Within a short period, he became the Chairman & Managing Director of the Group, reported hsmmgroup.com.
A Dynamic Leader with Over 20 Years of Experience
As the Chairman & Managing Director of HSMM Group, Chowdhury oversees multiple companies including Lao Agar Development Co. Ltd., HS International Sole Co. Ltd., HSMM Fragrance Co. Ltd., and HSMM Mining Ltd. With over 20 years of experience in the Agarwood business, his expertise spans Agarwood plantations, oil extraction, manufacturing, and sales in competitive markets like the Middle East, China, Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
Chowdhury has fostered strong, reliable partnerships, contributing to both his companies’ growth and broader economic development in Laos. His sharp business acumen has earned him the respect of the Government of Lao PDR and fellow entrepreneurs.
An Exceptional Personality with a Strong Network
Known for his excellent PR skills, Chowdhury has built a solid reputation among diplomats and VIPs in the country. His personality and professionalism have helped create lasting relationships with influential figures, establishing HSMM Group as a reliable and respected entity.
As the newly appointed Chairman, Chowdhury is committed to maintaining the same relentless focus and dedication that has driven his success throughout his career.
“I had nothing of value until I was introduced to a foreign land, the Lao PDR. Like the wounded agar tree, I learned to cope with life’s pains and made myself better than I was in the past,” he said.
HSMM Group’s New Ventures and Future Outlook
Under Chowdhury’s leadership, the HSMM Group launched HSMM FRAGRANCE in 2020, introducing Lao PDR’s first fragrance brand. This new venture is poised to meet the growing demand for perfumes and fragrances in markets such as Laos, Russia, the Middle East, and South Africa. With a visionary outlook and strong work ethic, Chowdhury is guiding the company towards even greater success.
In addition, HSMM MINING has become a cornerstone of the Group’s operations, catering to the increasing demand for iron ore and other minerals, particularly from China.
