Home/Businesses
Our businesses
Three areas of business, connected by a single thread. Each one grew out of what the generation before it had already learned to do.
01 / Retail
Retail
The original foundation of the family business and a continuing part of its identity. From the historic store on the Mall to BCs in New Shimla, retail is where we meet customers directly and where we learn what the market wants next.
We hold longstanding relationships with major national and international brands, and regularly introduce new and imported products to the Shimla market.

Real Estate
Property and development across Shimla and the surrounding districts.
Building in a landscape the family has known and worked in for well over a century, with the same long view we apply to every other part of the group.
03 / Hospitality & Food
Hospitality and Food
The family's evolution into hotels, cafes and contemporary hospitality. Marigold Sarovar Portico in Mashobra, and Cafe 1873 on both the Mall and the Ridge.
The most visible expression of a relationship with Shimla and its visitors that goes back to 1873.
Know moreHow it fits together
A portfolio,
not a collection.
Read the list quickly and it looks like three different businesses. Read it in order and it is one business learning, generation by generation, what else it could do.
Retail taught us what customers want and how to keep them for a lifetime. Real estate came from understanding land and building in these hills. Hospitality came from a century and a half of looking after people who come to Shimla, and from the recognition that welcoming them properly is a business in itself.
Each step was the logical next one.
