Aged thirteen and armed with little more than dreams, a spirit of adventure and a determination to succeed, the founder, Nanji Kalidas Mehta left his native land in a country vessel, bound for the distant shores of Africa. The year was 1900 and the unit of currency used for trading with the local tribes was Cowrie Shells!

From such humble but dramatic origins has sprung The Mehta Group.

Today, controlling assets in excess of US $350 million and with over 15,000 employees worldwide, The Mehta Group is a multinational, multi-activity enterprise with a global presence spanning four continents viz. Asia, Europe, North America and Africa.
