SM Khaled, managing director of apparel exporter Snowtex Group, has always abided by two things in life: honesty and commitment.
These virtues, in his words, prompted him to take up a seven-day walk from Dhaka to Chattogram in his teenage years with seven schooltime friends as part of an anti-smoking campaign, which eventually got him a certificate right from the then president himself.
These principles also paid great dividends later in a career in apparel manufacturing.
