Corporate and thought leaders came together at The Daily Star Centre in the capital today for the launch of a book written by Mahtab Uddin Ahmed, president of the Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Bangladesh and founder of BuildCon Consultancies Ltd.

Titled "Beyond Bottom Lines", the book was published by Daily Star Books.

The key themes of the book—leadership, business transformation, and the pursuit of purpose beyond financial success—were highlighted at the event.

The book offers real-world lessons drawn from decades of experience in multinational corporations, financial strategy, and industry transformation.

Mahtab Uddin Ahmed, who earlier served as the CEO of private mobile network company Robi from 2016 to 2021, shared his journey of compiling his experiences and insights into this book.

Taken from his columns published in The Daily Star, "Beyond Bottom Lines" serves as a guide for leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals seeking to navigate the evolving business landscape with integrity and vision.

Addressing the event, Ahmed expressed gratitude to readers, colleagues, and industry peers who supported and inspired him throughout his career.

He emphasised the need for leadership that extends beyond profit metrics, focusing instead on sustainable growth, ethical business practices, and meaningful societal impact.

The book is available on Rokomari.com and at The Daily Star Centre.
