What is the origin and development of the Khimji family business in Oman?
The Khimji family business originated when patriarch Kimji Ramdas arrived at the port of Sur in Oman in 1870 from Mandvi, Gujarat in India. Initially a captain of a Dhow transporting spices between India and Africa, he decided to stay in Muscat and began as a broker selling rice and earning commission. Over generations, the family enterprise grew significantly, and today the Khimji Group employs more than 5,000 people. This 150-year-old legacy has evolved from humble trading beginnings to become one of Oman's most prominent business families, now continuing into its sixth generation.
