DOHA: Malabar Group, one of the world-class brands from India with presence in 10 countries, yesterday added another laurel to its roaster of glory by formally inaugurating the new Global Headquarters, which is completely nature-friendly but ultra-modern with advanced facilities.
The picturesque headquarters of the diversified Malabar Group, at Kuttikattoor, Kozhikode, India will house all its subsidiaries including the flagship brand, Malabar Gold & Diamonds, said a statement. It has been built at Montana Estates, the 150-acre serene township, situated at 800 feet above the sea-level, away from the bustle of the City.
The world class office complex, matching the global standards and facilities of top corporate houses, has been conceived to give the perfect nature-friendly and hi-tech working ambiance to the employees. The HQ, a different work place to motivate the employees, will have research centres and training centres, among many facilities.
E P Jayarajan, Kerala Minister for Industries and Sports, formally inaugurated headquarters in the presence of a host of dignitaries. Mr. T P Ramakrishnan, Kerala Minister for Labour & Excise, released the corporate video of the Malabar Group. Mr. A K Saseendran, Kerala Minister for Transport, announced `Golden Girl’, an initiative to promote girl talent.
Inaugurating the headquarters, E P Jayarajan said unity, humanitarian focus and mutual trust were the key to the success of the Malabar Group. “This is one success that Keralites should be proud of”, he said, adding that the Government wanted higher investment both in the private and the public sectors.
Chairing the session, Malabar Group Chairman M P Ahammed attributed his success from one store to 250 store world leader in 25 years to the wholehearted support from the investors and the customers. “This is the result of collective effort, from investors to the consumers to the employees. A brand is built only with the support and trust of the consumer,” he said. Malabar Group took an Indian brand, having proven its quality, to different parts of the world while multinational brands were entering the country.
