TONY JASHANMAL

Jashanmal Group

Jashanmal continues to be one of the most well recognised Indian business leaders in the Gulf. Jashanmal Group dates back to 1919 when his grandfather sensed opportunity in Iraq at the end of WWI and left his homeland to open a department store. The resulting business expanded across the border into Kuwait in the 1930s and by 1963 had reached Bahrain, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Today the group’s operations span 150 retail stores, a distribution network reaching more than 1,000 outlets and a series of joint ventures in fragrances, fashion, media and logistics.
