In a city constantly racing against time, a rare sense of calm descended upon Shahabuddin Park in Gulshan as Dhaka Flow Fest 2025 returned—an open-air celebration that unites yoga, dance, art, and conscious living under the same sky.

Among the many voices calling for balance in modern life, one stood out—that of Sharif Zahir, Chairman of United Commercial Bank PLC (UCB).

Participating in the “Partners in Flow” panel on the festival’s second day, Zahir spoke not as a banker, but as a firm believer in the transformative power of wellbeing—for individuals, communities, and institutions alike.

He shared that UCB is moving forward with renewed energy and purpose, guided by sustainable growth and a deep commitment to the wellbeing of its employees, customers, and the wider community. His remarks mirrored UCB’s ongoing sustainability initiatives, which focus on employee wellness, environmental awareness, and ethical business practices.

Zahir emphasised that wellness and sustainability are no longer peripheral concerns for modern organisations, but central philosophies shaping their long-term future.

As the sun dipped behind the Gulshan skyline, festival-goers continued their journey—from yoga mats to laughter circles, from soulful music to moments of silent meditation.

Guests, visibly inspired by the spirit of the gathering, lauded the organisers for creating a beautifully mindful space that encouraged connection, reflection, and renewal.

Now established as an annual celebration, Dhaka Flow Fest has evolved into more than a wellness event—it has become a movement reminding urban dwellers to pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves and their surroundings.

For UCB, supporting such a platform is not merely an act of sponsorship but a meaningful statement: that a modern financial institution can stand for more than economic growth—it can embody human balance, social harmony, and sustainable progress.
