Batyr Hydyrov, the CEO and founder of UAsia Group, is a name that embodies resilience, vision, and adaptability. His journey from being a student in Beijing to becoming a global entrepreneur with headquarters in Guangzhou is truly inspiring. Batyr's story begins in 2017 when he made China his permanent home. After studying at Beijing Language and Culture University and later graduating from Sun Yat-sen University (中山大学), he discovered his passion within the innovative and rapidly evolving business environment of Guangzhou.
Initially engaged in export trade, Batyr supplied goods to markets in Turkmenistan. However, his thirst for knowledge and new opportunities led him to explore the manufacturing capabilities of Guangdong Province.
"I had no idea that places like Foshan and Dongguan were hubs for high-quality production," he recalls. His visit to the Canton Fair became a turning point, unveiling a wide range of opportunities in production and export.
Building UAsia Group: A Path to International Success
UAsia Group began with small projects, producing souvenirs and corporate gifts for clients in Turkmenistan. Batyr's keen market understanding allowed the company to expand into furniture, construction materials, and LED screens. By 2014, UAsia Group had become a trusted supplier, managing multi-million-dollar contracts.
A Global Vision with Local Roots
Batyr's ambitions extend far beyond business. He aims to bridge cultures and foster collaboration between international entrepreneurs and Chinese industries. With offices in Abu Dhabi, Ethiopia, the USA, and Guangzhou, his goal is to position UAsia Group as a global leader. The company is planning further expansion in Hong Kong and considering acquisitions of larger facilities to support its growth.
However, for Batyr, business is not just about profits. His passion for creating meaningful products led to the launch of Summer Feng, a healthy juice brand promoting organic living in China. The brand has grown organically, gaining popularity across Guangzhou, with future expansion plans in Shanghai.Gratitude and Philosophy
Despite his success, Batyr remains deeply grateful for the opportunities he found in China. "China taught me that nothing is impossible," he says. The country's innovation and work ethic significantly influenced his entrepreneurial mindset. "Even when working on projects in Ethiopia, I rely on Chinese constructors because their efficiency and quality are unmatched."
He believes in the power of collaboration and continuous learning. His advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is simple yet profound: "Embrace technology, bring new ideas to China, and don't waste time. Opportunities are endless if you're willing to work hard and think creatively."
