Ilgar Hajiyev is Not Only a Successful Businessman, But Also a Fighter for a Just Cause.

By

Ilgar Hajiyev is a well-known businessman and developer from Azerbaijan, he was never afraid of the difficulties concerned with his own entrepreneurship, and this benefited not only himself, but the whole country. Please read here an example of it.

In Russia a lot of people know about him, but he began his career as a developer in his native Azerbaijan, after it had become an independent country. A businessman is well known firsthand in Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan. Hajiyev founded the Construction and Industrial Investment Company Accord in Azerbaijan.

The beginning of something great

Azerbaijan gained independence in 1993. Heydar Aliyev, president of the new free republic, called on all entrepreneurs and influential people in the country to help residents with new jobs, as well as to invest in the development of the state. But the majority of entrepreneurs preferred to do business in the territories of other states, since many industries were not going through the most bad times, and some were completely closed.

Ilgar Hajiyev was not among those businessmen who were afraid of difficulties.

An innate business acumen helped to understand that the country needs the quality housing development. And this does not only provide the population with apartments, but also creates many jobs and allows families to receive a stable income.

How this all started?

In 2005 businessman Ilgar Hajiyev succeeded in many ways and was able to unite the existing companies into the aforementioned "Accord". The corporation was estimated at $ 7 billion, and according to the businessman the income for the year reached $ 500 million. Naturally, such figures provide a colossal flow of money to the treasury of Azerbaijan.

Due to such dedication and working ability, Ilgar Hajiyev's SDI group was able to raise Azerbaijan to a new level. The whole world started talking about the once small and poor state. "Accord" now and then showed itself at all international exhibitions and conferences, presenting community successfully implemented innovations in the field of construction to the world, as well as the manufacture of building materials.

The Leadership and Success Principles

The "Accord" very quickly took a leading position in the rating of the leading companies in Azerbaijan.

It was due to the fact of the excluding the intermediaries. The corporation produced the quality building materials by itself. Designers and constructors also worked exclusively in the depths of the company, and did not come from outside. So it was possible to completely control the construction process and its quality.

At the moment there is the only one developer in the country that has adopted the standards of the International Project Management Association. From SGS - Company of Certification of System of Services "Accord" received the Certificate of Conformity to the ISO 9001-2000 Standard, which confirms that the manufacture of building materials, as well as the construction of bridges, design and construction of housing, meets international standards.

The Russian market entry

By 2012 Ilgar Hajiyev began to think about moving to the Russian market. He enlisted the support of large entrepreneurs and together they created the SDI Group, in which a businessman from Azerbaijan became the main shareholder.

The company carried out activities in the field of construction of housing complexes, as well as infrastructure facilities in Moscow and the Moscow region.

Several government orders for the construction of highways were completed, and also organized the construction of three housing complexes:

- the housing complex "Vernadsky" is a 25-storey business-class residential one with a shopping center on Vernadsky Avenue. Construction caused an unprecedented excitement among equity holders, most of the residential premises were purchased at the time of laying the foundation very quickly. 

- the housing complex  "Pirogovskaya Riviera" is a comfort-class project that is being built in the urban district of Mytishchi, Moscow region. It is planned that a complete infrastructure is on the territory - shopping centers, a clinic, educational institutions. 

- the housing complex  "Accord Smart-Kvartal" is a four-storey monolithic-brick residential one with a developed infrastructure. There are about 2000 apartments. A special feature is the equipping of residential premises with the "Smart House" system. 

What else is remarkable about Hajiyev's activities?

Ilgar Hajiyev founded a center of helping injured businessmen because of often raiders takeovers in Russia.

Its center is located in London, UK. The main idea is to help Russian entrepreneurs who have suffered from outside interference in their business. Some Russian entrepreneurs have already turned to Hajiyev for help. Among them is Igor Bitkov.

In a short time considerable activity was launched. All forces are aimed at legal methods of struggle and building a reliable legal base.

There are regular meetings in it, live ones or by teleconference, with the worldwide famous politicians, members of the European Parliament. There are plans to meet with a US congressman. But so far due to the pandemic the dialogue has been postponed indefinitely.

Actually politicians and businessmen say that raiding and corruption are the scourge of modern business. Unfortunately this topic is especially acute in Russia.

According to the Russian Anti-Corruption Committee, about 700,000 illegal takeovers of enterprises and companies of various kinds take place annually in the Russian Federation. At the same time only 10% of this shocking number of criminal cases are conducted in the police. Only a few reach the courts, but even there the case does not always take a positive turn for the victim.

This state of affairs scares off the foreign investors, which means that medium and small businesses cannot fully develop and enrich the country's economy.

What are the main questions raised in the conversations with congressmen and politicians?

- publicly condemnation of the invaders and their actions; 

- the publication of the names of the participants in raider takeovers, the announcement of the most egregious cases for the world community to see; 

- the creation of the legal documents that would push on the Russian government to eradicate the concept of raiding; 

- the judicial process support in Russia so that the injured party gets its business back or compensation in full; 

- the imposition of sanctions against companies and individuals who support and provoke such takeovers; 

- the prohibition of the investing assets into foreign business for people who obtained that assets through raiding. 

The founder of the SDI Group Holding Ilgar Hajiyev believes that transparency and security of the business, the absence of raider takeovers will help attract more money to the country, allow entrepreneurship to develop and raise the economy to a high level. That is why in this phase he puts all his efforts into The Center for Business Transparency and Counteraction to Corporate Raids in Russia. And if his just cause is firmly entrenched, it will give us a new breakthrough in the economic situation in the country and in many industries.
