History

The House of Adamjee was founded in Burma (now Myanmar) by the illustrious Sir Adamjee Haji Dawood. Born in 1880 in Jetpur, Gujarat. By 1922, he had accumulated sufficient resources and a strong presence in the commodities markets, enabling him to setup his first Industrial venture - a match factory in Rangoon [now Yangon] . In 1927, he returned to India to establish a jute mill in Calcutta. The Adamjee Jute Mill Ltd. was the first Muslim public company. Once Pakistan was created, Sir Adamjee and his sons established Businesses in both East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) & West Pakistan. In January 1948, six months after the creation, Pakistan fell in financial difficulties and was in urgent need of funds. On January 24th 1948, Jinnah sent an "SOS" to Sir Adamjee who rushed to Karachi on 25th to the present day Governor House and presented a Blank Cheque to Jinnah to save Pakistan from financial collapse.
