History

G-Series was established in 1983 by Nazmul Haque Bhuiyan. In 2006, Agniveena production was founded as a sister concern of G-Series. G-series is named after the famous book of poems, Gitanjali of Rabindranath Tagore.[2] In 2007, G-Series was seeing a decline in the sale of compact disks due to piracy.[7]

In 2010, for the Eid market, G-series and Agniveena, its sister concern, released 30 albums.[8] The same year the company partnered with BBC World Service Trust to launch BBC Janala on CD. BBC Janala is a program of the trust, English in action, with an aim of making English lessons more accessible.[9]

In 2011, G-Series partnered with Nescafé to launch Get Set Rock, a talent hunt which was won by S.I.X. G-Series released an album of the winner, S.I.X, and the runner-up, Rang, titled Nescafé 'Get Set Rock.[10]
