History
The roots of House of Habib goes back to the 19th century when it commenced as Khoja Mithabhai Nathoo in 1841 in Bombay, operating as a family business.[1] In 1891, a family member named Habib Esmail played a pivotal role in the company's expansion.[1] Subsequently, the company evolved into a major trading firm. In 1921, his four sons joined the business, and Habib & Sons was established, which eventually transformed into today's Habib Bank Limited.[6]
