Valiram: The First Hundred Years
The Valiram story begins like that of many other Sindhi families in Malaysia. Their enterprising forefathers left their families in India in the 1800s to build their fortunes in Malaya and Asia. It was to be their temporary base, an avenue to make their money and eventually return to their homeland, but the Partition of India forced them to change their plans.
We are first introduced to Utumal, son of Valiram Bhojwani, who journeyed to Malaya at the turn of the century, and what follows is a portrait of three generations intricately interwoven through love, family, tragedy, heritage, and enterprise. Utumal surely could not have foreseen that the humble wholesale textile business he started with his brothers would one day spawn an empire. The book details of the family’s vast network of friends and relatives, and their fierce blend of audacity and tenacity, all of which have enabled the Valirams access to and influence over global fashion houses, high-end luxury watchmakers, industry captains and high-profile personalities. What makes the Valirams’ story remarkable is the series of firsts that garland the history of their enterprise, particularly in the first-to-market brands and retail concepts they introduced in Malaysia, and subsequently Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, and Thailand, to name a few.
