Our world
Looking to
the future
We are proud of our pioneering spirit –
always expanding; always moving; always
forward thinking.
We are proud of
our history
What was once a small trading business conducted painstakingly on annual dhow voyages plying between India and East Africa has blossomed into a highly respected group. Over the years the group has spanned wide business interests in trading, agriculture, property, and automobiles. But that pioneering spirit remains. Always expanding; always moving; always forward thinking.
Our forefathers put their lives at stake because they had a vision. They showed courage in the face of the unknown. But through determination, hard work and an enterprising spirit the family prospered in the face of amazing difficulties. We are proud of our long and established history. We owe so much to those who came before us.
We look to the future. We are innovative and progressive,
forever committed to furthering the economic and
business prosperity of our country and our region and having
a positive impact on society.
