“The House of Bombay”… Always was, and forever remains, a glimpse of
a Romance from an age long past, when Ata Mohammad incorporated his
Company in Rawalpindi in 1922—in the Name of an alluring
“Bombay”... Then, one of the largest, most exhilarating Cities of the
Subcontinent—and now, the largest—no different than how he envisioned
the growth and rhythm of his own Company…
His company grew rapidly like the City it was named aft of, and
went on to trade across Three Continents of the World and Three
Generations of his Family—as Merchants, Importers, & Exporters of
exquisite Fabrics of Chiffons, fine Silks & Linens, elegant Furniture, and
many an artifact of lively interests of Business… His Sons, Mohammad
Akhtar Khan & Mohammad Afzal Khan continued his enigmatic
Company in the spirit of its effervescent Name, symbolized in at least one
flagship establishment called “Bombay Cloth House & Stores”—where
Presidents, Prime Ministers, Armed Forces Chiefs, & Federal Ministers of
Pakistan, and Foreign Ambassadors & Dignitaries over three decades—
would personally visit for their fittings—it was neon-lit with the rightful
slogan “The Largest Store in Town”…
Even today, his Grandson Aamir Akhtar & his Wife Nida,
continue his Company‟s timeless tradition of vibrant and constant
evolution, and this particular time, into—scrumptious gourmet Foods,
delicious mouth-watering Drinks, fine elegant Dining, & discriminating
aristocratic Smoking—as they, now present for your „Delectation &
Pleasure‟—herein “The House of Bombay…”
