The group is a prominent non-oil private company in Azerbaijan, and its co-founders also back a team that became national champion, according to a 2026 news item on its website.

Avrora Qrup was founded on 1 November 1993 as a distribution company, initially handling products from local and foreign factories for the Azerbaijani market. In 1997 the company established Orxan MMC, and in 2000 Avrora Qrup itself was formally established. The group expanded into manufacturing in 2001, and in 2002 it built its first mill complex and commissioned a pasta factory; a biscuit factory also began operations that year. In 2010 the Bolmart supermarket chain was launched, marking the group's entry into retail. A new production area for carbonated soft drinks started in 2014, based on Italian CFT equipment. In 2017 the group commissioned what it describes as the Caucasus's largest and most modern mill complex, equipped with Buhler machinery from Switzerland. A new pasta factory opened in 2020. Today Avrora Qrup operates across distribution, manufacturing, logistics and retail, with a logistics centre of about 39,000 square metres, regional branches in Ganja, Lankaran, Barda, Quba, Goychay, Sheki and Saatli, and a portfolio of international brand partnerships. Its Tamstore supermarket chain operates in mini, city and super formats in Baku and other regions.
