Ikon Group: Four Eyes - One Vision

Since its inception in 1993, Mehta Gulf Trading Co. LLC has been at the forefront of their industry, supplying quality materials and services to notable clients. Founded by duo's father, Masood Hasan, the company had humble beginnings as a small trading firm which has now grown into a multimillion dollar company which imports, exports and stocks building materials and various construction equipments. The organisation has planted its footprint in USA, India, Qatar, and the UAE by continuously delivering a high standard through expertise and modern management.
Murtaza Hasan and Mohamed Husain do not only share a professional responsibility of this empire as Vice Chairman and Managing director, but are also brothers who helm operations for the diversified conglomerate. The synergy between them is evident as both don different hats to execute operations and undertake various responsibilities to offer a comprehensive service to their reputable clients. With a passion for entrepreneurism running through their veins, both have an innate acumen for business, and have learnt from the success of their father, who is the Founder and Chairman of the group. "Our Group is not only limited by the performance of our flagship company, we have been successful in expanding our reach by introducing a wide variety of offerings through our various verticals to provide comprehensive services. Under the Ikon umbrella, we have Ikon International, Ikon developers, Axisline Auditors & Accountants and our recent venture Ikon Enterprises Pvt Ltd. Our passion fuels our drive to persevere and broaden our range.
The duo owes the success of its group to a strong value chain developed and incorporated in all their business actives. "Our father recognised the requirement of catering towards the booming construction industry in the region and developed the company. This has provided the perfect foundation which has encouraged us to derive our competitive advantage through innovation and an acute strategic vision and plan" says Hasan. "But Majority of our success can be attributed to the values and ethics of our father. Our team is our greatest asset and our success is incomplete without them, and that is the reason Mehta Gulf Trading Co. LLC is in the top ranks of the industry" adds Mohamed Husain, Managing Director.
Husain overviews the day to day operations of the group and explains that contracting companies and real estate developers require professional suppliers, and expect quality materials with prompt service. "We have become sought after as we never compromise on time and quality, always ensuring that the delivery surpasses our client's expectation. Our competitive edge is that we have a complete range of services and products which includes steel, cement, plywood, aggregates, building hardware, iron mongery, construction chemicals and many more. Hence, we are known among our clients as a "one stop shop" for all construction needs. Due to our success and drive to expand our portfolio, in 2009 we established IKON developers, which is a real estate development company based in India. Our Company is unique due to three important elements, which is elevated design, quality, and innovation. Whether you are looking for a family villa, a luxurious apartment or commercial retail or office space, IKON Developers has a solution for you" says Mohamed Husain.
With an extensive portfolio, the Managing Director and Vice Chairman are eager to venture into new arenas and undertake new challenges. "Being bitten by the professional bug, we went on to establish "AXIS LINE" an accounting, consulting and auditing company to advise corporates and SME's in UAE on various business decisions and best practices" says Murtaza Hasan. They envisage a healthy growth ahead especially with Expo - 2020 and VAT gaining steam in UAE in the coming years.
"In 2017, our group forayed into wealth management, investment banking, advisory and brokerage services. With the BSE Sensex scaling record high, Ikon Enterprises, aims to take on the huge opportunity in the financial services industry. "Let the money work for you is our mantra" says Murtaza Hasan.
With an insatiable hunger for growth and expansion, the IKON group marches ahead confidently in areas of trading, development, financial services, and consultancy.
