Dawood Group
Dawood was ranked second biggest group in Pakistan in 1970 by Lawrence
White but it was worst-hit by seperation of East Pakistan and the nationalization
of Z A Bhutto with the result that it has not set up a single manufacturing unit
during last 25 years. Yet it is ranked among the top 10 industrial groups in
Pakistan in 1990 and was 14 in 1997.
Dawood group was founded by Ahmad Dawood but currently stands split among
three Dawood brothers namely Ahmad, Sadiq and Suleman Dawood who are
heading Dawood, BRR and Descon groups respectively. Not so well known,
Ghani group was also carved out of the main Dawood group and is based on the
shares held by in-laws of Ahmad Dawood in the parent group.
Dawood family members were put on exit control list and once they managed to
leave the country, they lived out the Bhutto era in exile in Europe and United
States. However Razak Dawood s/o Suleman Dawood shifted to Lahore and
developed a group of Construction/ Engineering Companies today known as the
Descon group.
Ahmad Dawood was born at Batva, Kathiawar in a Memon family. When partition
took place, he had already set up a cotton ginning factory, an oil mill and
vegetable ghee factory in India. He is reported to have told reporters that it was
on the suggestion of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah that he had migrated
to Pakistan and incorporated Dawood Corporation for import and export trade.
