ABOUT US

Prakash Trading Company LLC (PTC) was established by Mr. Maganlal Karani, an Indian entrepreneur who began his journey in the United Arab Emirates, in his early twenties to seek business opportunities beyond the limit of his homeland, India. Determined to shape his own path without the support of his family, he experienced numerous challenges and setbacks along the way. But his strong determination and unwavering dedication led him to start a small trading family business called “Prakash Trading Co” – Prakash meaning ‘light’ in Hindi.

Established in the early 1960s, Prakash Trading Company commenced its operations in the supply and distribution of low voltage electrical and lighting solutions. Its humble beginnings trace back to a single retail outlet situated in Al Sabkha, Deira – then a trading hub in Dubai, where merchants converged to conduct business transactions. Notably, he holds the distinction of being one of the first businesses to obtain a commercial license for trading purposes from the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism.

Under his leadership the group has expanded into a large business conglomerate across the GCC through strategic expansion and business acquisitions.

Today, Prakash Trading Co remains a family business managed by the lineage of Maganlal Karani, who continue to follow his vision and values. The company has grown with operations in the UAE and GCC.
