Hashoo Group

What Hashoo Group does

Hashoo Group is a privately held Pakistani conglomerate founded in 1960 by Sadruddin Hashwani and headquartered in Islamabad, operating across 5,001-10,000 employees. It began as a cotton trading enterprise and has since diversified into hospitality, oil and gas exploration and production, information technology, minerals, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, travel and tourism, real estate, and commodity trading. Hospitality is the most visible operating vertical, anchored by the Pearl Continental luxury hotel brand (five properties across Pakistan's major cities and resort destinations totaling roughly 1,378 rooms, including the flagship 607-room PC Lahore and the 286-room PC Karachi) and the Hotel One budget brand (12+ properties across secondary Pakistani cities such as Sialkot, Murree, Faisalabad, Multan, and Lahore). The portfolio also includes PC Hunza, a boutique property in Pakistan's northern region.

Supporting the hotel operations are two wholly owned travel subsidiaries: Destinations of the World (DOTW), a wholesale travel company operating 30 offices in 24 countries as master franchisee of UAE-based DOTW LLC, and TransAir Travels, an IATA-accredited airline ticketing agency with offices in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi serving hotel guests, multinationals, and government departments. Revenue mechanics combine occupancy-based room rentals, food and beverage across multiple outlets per property, large-scale banquet and conference hosting (PC Lahore alone offers 30 banquet facilities with 7,000-person capacity), and real estate development such as the planned 40-floor office tower at PC Karachi. Customer segments span corporate and business travelers, leisure tourists, government and institutional clients, and global travel-trade partners. Recent strategic moves include a partnership with Bank Alfalah for digital banking infrastructure (March 2026), deployment of Shiji's cloud-native Daylight PMS at PC Rawalpindi (February 2026, first in Pakistan), expansion of PC Lahore beyond 900 rooms, a 40-floor mixed-use tower adjacent to PC Karachi, and a stated target to grow the portfolio to over 60 hotels by 2026. The company remains family-controlled with no external private equity or institutional investment.
