Background
Micky Jagtiani held a profoundly remarkable, deeply resilient background in aggressive retail survival and incredibly hard-fought commercial operations. Having successfully navigated intense personal tragedy and operating completely from the ground up in the incredibly competitive Middle Eastern market, this intense foundation in retail execution provided the exact corporate grit required to successfully architect the massive Landmark Group.
Founding Story
Mukesh Wadhumal 'Micky' Jagtiani was an incredibly legendary billionaire entrepreneur and the profoundly influential founding patriarch fundamentally responsible for building the massive Landmark Group, the incredibly dominant parent company of Home Centre. Operating as a fiercely resilient businessman who started as a humble taxi driver and hotel cleaner in London, Jagtiani aggressively relocated to Bahrain to take over his deceased brother's small baby products shop. Leveraging an absolutely relentless work ethic and brilliant retail acumen, he completely transformed the tiny storefront into a massive Middle Eastern retail empire. Launching Home Centre in Sharjah in 1995, Jagtiani fiercely pioneered the large-scale home furnishings market in the region. His incredibly rigorous strategic vision and massive-scale corporate architecture completely secured Landmark Group's status as an absolute multi-billion dollar retail monopoly.
