Jahangir Siddiqui: Common Traits of a Defining Leader
The swift flow of nature never lets us know the extent of devotional incubation
in the art of persistence that resides in the ammunition of the bold, yet the
idea remains simple and delicate to the touch. Born like many others in times
of developmental progress and economic inflation at the helm of inception,
Jahangir Siddiqui was born on 28th July 1948. With a government-employed
father and dear housewife for a mother, Jahangir Siddiqui never realized the
tremendous anticipation of his destiny.
Jahangir Siddiqui began his entrepreneurial career by following three key
steps: Learning, experience, and output. To elaborate on the first step,
Jahangir started spending time in one of his friend’s shop that sold Cola
bottles. He would sit there for long durations of the day, analyzing the
behavior of customers and calculating a rough estimate of the average number
of bottles sold per day. He learned various techniques of innovation, from
being the salesperson to a rookie customer looking for a commodity to buy.
In order to experience the tumult of new information, Jahangir Siddiqui
opened a small café in his father’s garage by investing 6000 rupees; he even
sold the household’s only car to kick start the business. When his father came

to know about all his plans, he laughed off the car-selling gesture by pouring
some of his own money to help his son seek what he what he was trying to
seek in the process. Little did they know, Jahangir’s business flourished at such
an alarming rate that within a few months he bought his father the new Fiat-
600. A few years later, Jahangir bought shares in major sugar mills (Adamjee
and Mirpurkhas) that yielded 200,000 rupees in the maiden year of Jahangir’s
solo venture. Hence, the output materialized; Jahangir learned how to
establish stakes in foundering companies and managed to circulate big rolls of
cash into his own endeavour. A decade later, this endeavour came to be
known as the JS Group.
You see, Jahangir Siddiqui incorporated the three aforementioned steps to
help create the legacy that is known as the JS Group today. The company
manages portfolio-specific departments under its supervision, playing down
the corporate seeds of investment, trading, healthcare and most importantly
the corporate banking system of Pakistan. Alongside solid developments in the
corporate field, Jahangir Siddiqui gives a lot to the country. His family
foundation run by a son and fellow worker Ali Jahangir Siddiqui grants special
privileges to the community, mostly in the shape of health care benefits,
education and definite platforms for the young/student body to showcase
their talents at the highest level of recognition.
