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.[1] In 2007, G-Series was seeing a decline in the sale of compact disks due to piracy.[7]
