Our History

Bashir Ali Syed invested his life time savings to become the exclusive distributor of industrial products. Hearing about the growing demand for industrial products in Local market that was dominated by the Hindu traders (Hindu Baniyas) at that time, this man with his broad vision, opened up a distribution centre in that market. It was 1937, the period before independence. As being the only Muslim trader in that market, almost all Muslim industrialists preferred to make their purchases from him; this was the biggest competitive edge for this new entrant to survive in this already established market.

After completing the studies; his son Syed Mubashir Ali, current CEO of BAS Group, joined his family business, his vision was broad and also has all capabilities of a true entrepreneur, previously all the purchases were made locally, in 1978 he started for the first time in the history of BAS group to trade business products from outside. In a short span of time he expanded his business by opening up other facilities and by diversifying the product line.
