Introduction of HabibFamily

The Origin of what is now known as the Habib Group of companies can be traced to
HabibEsmail, and his association with the firm of KhojaMithabaniNathoo, a leading metals
dealer established in Bombay in 1841. Habib joined the firm at the age of 13 for a monthly
salary of Rs. 5. Through his hard work and determination he became partner at the age of
18 and also became the president of the Copper and Brass Merchants Association.

He started the firm "Habib& Sons" in 1921 and changed the family name to "Habib". His
four sons namely Ahmed Habib, DawoodHabib, Mohammed Ali Habib and Ghulam Ali Habib
joined the business. The firm expanded rapidly - banking remained a core business.

through future market opportunities, recent trends, and customer's feedback.

 The integration process should be taken in line with consent of the management
from both the companies venturing into the merger.

information and knowledge from both ends. This involves considering the work
culture, employee selection, and the working environment as well.

the merger companies, stakeholders, board members, and investors agree on the
