The Pink City Xenovalley

Our beloved motherland has got its independence more than 36 years since now. There elapsed quite a lot of time to develop the nation. But can we be satisfied with the level of development so far been achieved by us? The answer is defenitely \'no\'. There are countries having been developed in a pace much faster than us although they were lagging behind of us even some ten-twenty years ago. One of the reason for their development in such a faster way is their capabilities to equip science & technology and its appliances in all spheres of their national life. So the most significant reason of our unsatisfiable condition is that we could not adopt and equip the appliances of science & technology in the spheres of our lives as per the demand of the time. Adopting the appliances of science & technology does not require higher education or qualification. It only requires proper and far-sighted planning and the execution of that planning with devotion. We have got a huge number of population, from this we can bring forth adequate number of manpower to be utilised in the highly growing-up fields of technology. These manpower can be treated as the \'bonus premium\' of our human resource industry. But it should also be taken into consideration that these raw manpower resource should be undergone or trained into semi-skilled or skilled levels. The enterprises of ICS first came into being in September 1993 incorporated as a private limited company named \"Integrated Computer Services (Bangladesh) Ltd\" in Bangladesh. It was started with the operations of computer systems like software development, hardware design, development and marketing. After achieving a significant level of success in its business, it expanded for launching a real estate company in 1996. The enterpreneours behind this group are compitent to withstand in fulfilling the demand of the current business necessities and thus welcomed to diversify their business fields in constructing Satellite Towns in the name of XENOVALLEY MODEL TOWN (BD) LTD, XENOVALLEY HOLDINGS LTD. and some other associate ventures like DESIGN CARE, TRIOD COMPUTERS INC, ICS MULTIMEDIA etc. Aims and Targets of the Group The Group is aimed to enhance the awareness level of the masses to adopt and utilize in practice the latest achievements of science and technology for their better living. It has been trying to develop the skills of the common people especially in the field of technology since inception. The main target of the Group is to utilise the resources with us effeciently. Incorporating all these above the aims and targets of the Group has been summerized in following lines- \"We\'re aimed to ensure proper and effecient utilization of the resources by professionalism and perfect distribution of labour and thus to attain the well-being for the humanity.\" Group Overview ICS Business Group has been launched in the early nineties. It expedited the business opportunities in the field of information and communication technology under the leadership of Mr. Md. Salah Uddin as Managing Director of Integrated Computer Services (Bangladesh) Ltd. as an IT professional of computer engineering background. He took bold-face steps to welcome USA-based companies for utilizing our low-cost human resources in software industries. In pursuance of this approach ICS Bangladesh Ltd was involved in a joint venture IT business with a USA-based company- perhaps it was the first Bangladesh-USA joint collaboration in IT industry. After making successful achievements in IT business, the group diversified its wings into real estate sector. This real estate venture has successfully completed some significant housing projects in different areas of the city. Then the concept of ‘Xenovalley’ came into day light with the approaches of long-term planned and harmonious development of community life-style. Xenovalley came into being in 1996. It was incorporated as two private limited companies. One in the name of Xenovalley Holdings (Pvt.) Ltd. and the other Xenovalley Model Town (Pvt.) Ltd. Xenovalley Holdings (Pvt.) Ltd. is engaged in developing apartment buildings while Xenovalley Model Town (Pvt.) Ltd. is engaged in constructing planned townships at the suitable outscirts of the crowded city area. Soon the growth of total assets has been rise up to strong position in a very short period. Corporate Management and Human Resources: The Group clearly has a dynamic and inspired management. Each of the Group companies operates as an independent entity headed by the Chief Executive Officer or Managing Director while overall strategic objectives and the corporate management committee sets financial targets. To achieve targets, the group employs highly qualified and well-trained staffs. Each operating unit has its own human resources department, which is supported centrally by the Group’s Human Resources Department (HRD) at the corporate head office. The HRD is responsible for providing policy guidelines and systems to facilitate the recruitment, development and maintenance of a high achieving work force. Management Excellence- dynamic strategy with far-sighted planning: The most significant achievement of this group is supposed to be the dynamism with far-sightedness in strategic planning. While developing housing projects in discrete building blocks, the management could foresee the immense necessity of providing harmonious accommodation of the essential amenities and services for its dwellers within the boundaries of the estate. The discrete and isolated approach of developing ‘here and there’ building blocks of this time will be an obvious to change into long-term integrated housing system. Xenovalley is the first and leading real estate Company that introduced satellite model township concept in Bangladesh, and this has become possible only by virtue of its excellent management. Moreover the group employs people with excellent capability in managing cash flows and projects and handling of economic trend to predict the market demand.
