Indians love food and they certainly love shopping at this man’s retail chain. The Choithrams supermarket brand was originally set up in West Africa in 1944 by Thakurdas Choithram Pagarani. The elder Pagarani opened the first grocery in Sierra Leone and over the last seven decades Choithrams has developed into an international company spanning Europe, North America, Africa as well as the Gulf.  Today, the firm is led by LT Pagarani, who continues to expand the brand across the Middle East.
