The principal objective of this paper is to examine how the Pakistani business groups that played major, important roles in Pakistan's industrial development were initially formed and grew subsequently. In addition, the paper also aims to analyze closely the economic as well as entrepreneurial roles they have played successfully since Pakistan's independence.The study chooses the Habib and Dawood zaibatsu (business group) as case studies. There are three reasons in focusing attention on the Habib and Dawood zaibatsu. First, the Habibs belongs to the Khoja community and are Muslims from Gujarat, and the Dawoods belongs to the Memon community from Kathiawar in Gujarat. Gujarat has produced a many great entrepreneurs. After Partition, both Khoja and Memon communities migrated to Pakistan and settled in Karachi. Second, they played a pioneering role of industrial development of Pakistan in the period immediately following the country's independence. Third, they are both well-known business groups in Pakistan. They are regarded as “nation-building” companies. They came to control the financial business since the beginning of the independence movement.The study examines how Pakistani zaibatsu was formed, and what specific contributions they have made toward industrial growth and developments in Muslim society. It shows what problems and difficulties the business groups will have to deal with in the years to come.
