History
[edit]In 1988, Shanta entered the ready-made garment (RMG) sector, becoming one of the pioneers in exporting RMGs with companies such as Shanta Garments Ltd, Shanta Industries Ltd, Shanta Wash Works Ltd, GDS Chemicals Ltd, and Shanta Denims Ltd. In 2010, the group decided to focus on real estate development instead of the RMG sector and the group consequently sold their stake to Dewhirst Group Limited.[3][4][5]
In 1997, Shanta Group merged some of their assets with Tropica Group and Sepal Group to form STS Group.[6] STS Group is the owner of Evercare Hospital Dhaka, International School of Dakar, and the DPS STS Schools, Dhaka.[6]
