What SHAIKH GROUP COMPANIES LTD does

Shaikh Group Companies Ltd (also operating as ALSK Group) is a privately-held, family-controlled diversified business group headquartered at Kolkata, India, operating across eight or more distinct verticals. Its primary operating entity is Federate Automation Pvt. Ltd., through which the group delivers turnkey engineering and industrial automation projects spanning fire safety, mechanical/electrical engineering, and industrial systems; the CEO publicly references 100+ delivered projects across India in these domains. Beyond engineering, the group has built a vertically integrated consumer commerce stack comprising Umekart (an e-commerce storefront), Umecargo (logistics, warehousing, and nationwide distribution), Yumsa (household goods), Fedecam (electronic accessories), and a premium cosmetics line, plus the upcoming LezVera lifestyle and fashion brand targeting women's apparel, innerwear, and fragrances.

The group's commercial model combines project-based engineering revenue (one-time contracts), professional services fees via Feservice (tax, GST, and compliance consultancy), e-commerce transaction fees through Umekart, advertising revenue from the Cityinox digital media platform, and hardware sales across Fedecam, Yumsa, and the cosmetics line. Distribution is multi-channel: direct enterprise sales for Federate's B2B engineering clients, e-commerce storefronts for consumer brands, and the in-house Umecargo network for pan-India fulfillment. Technology infrastructure centers on internally deployed ERP systems (Federate ERP and Yumsa ERP) covering HR, manufacturing, quality, accounts, project, purchase, and sales functions; the group describes its stack as "modern digital tools and intelligent processes" without disclosed AI/ML components.

Leadership consists of CEO Shaikh Sanweer (18+ years industry experience), Director Shaikh Rehana (legal and financial governance), Senior Financial Advisor Mohammad Tanveer (10+ years), and Marketing Leader Irfan Noor (MBA Marketing). The group maintains a careers portal, active social media presence, and a corporate website (alsk.in) showcasing all subsidiaries. No external institutional investors, public shareholders, or cap-table disclosures are evidenced, and no revenue, headcount, or ARR figures are publicly disclosed; the company is private, family-owned, and operates without demonstrated external funding.
