Azad started his business by buying posters from Old Dhaka and selling them on the streets in 1982. He expanded the business, called Azad Products, by importing pinups of popular TV shows, such as The Bionic Woman, and footballers from Singapore and selling them in Bangladesh. In the 1990s he started using local celebrities more and with the profit he built Azad Centre in Paltan.[2]
Azad expanded the company to create greeting cards and calendars. He became the president of the Bangladesh Printing Product Association. He also opened branches of Azad Products in different parts of Bangladesh.[2] He established the annual 'Ratnagarva' award for exceptional mothers in 2003.[3][4] In 2006, Banglalink created a television advertisement based on his biography.[5]
The COVID-19 Pandemic in Bangladesh had been particularly difficult for Azad and his business. He had to close stores following declining demands.[2]
