Founded in 1974, the flagship of Jumbo Group, Jumbo Electronics, is a partner for some of the world’s top brands. It is also one of the largest distributors of Sony products anywhere on the planet. Vidya Chhabria took over the reins of the Jumbo Group after her husband’s death in 2002, and the UAE-based family has gone from strength to strength in recent years. The late Manohar Chhabria’s  aggressive acquisitions of brands including Shaw Wallace and Mather & Platt earned him the nickname ‘takeover tycoon’.
