Sadruddin Hashwani is founder-chairman of the Hashoo Group, a leading Pakistani business conglomerate that runs the country’s largest hotel operations and has interests stretching from hospitality to oil and gas exploration and production, property development and real estate, industries and commodities trading. A self-made man from a humble, middle-class background, Hashwani is among Pakistan’s most eminent citizens and best-known philanthropists.
In 2014, the Award of Knight-Commander in the Order of Leopold II was conferred upon Sadruddin Hashwani by HH King Philippe of Belgium in recognition of his services to the kingdom of Belgium.
His success, Hashwani believes, has come against the odds, and is due to his strong faith and the blessings of the Almighty and his forefathers.
