HOT PRODUCTS

Shibam Ventures and Building Materials Pvt. Ltd. is one of the top manufacturer and supplier of    Timberline Architectural Shingles, Lifetime Designer Roofing Shingles, Hip And Ridge Cap, etc. in India. With over 35 years of experience in a wide range of products, we have emerged as the first choice of customers throughout the nation. The company strives to exploit the best technology available for product designs pertinent to waterproofing as well as construction industries.

Mr. Yusuf Kamruddin Saboowala established the company. He was inspired by personal and socioeconomic challenges to broaden his business horizon. In the early 1900s, he established the family business, Kamruddin Hakimji Saboowala in the food and confectionery line with 14 shops and warehouses in the Crawford Market, which was a significant trading and commercial center. After two decades of work in the waterproofing industry, in 1975, he set up his own distribution business for waterproofing material in Thane. Known to be extremely fussy and working hard towards success, Yusuf would ride a bicycle to visit clients to promote his products. These motives of his working are an inspiration to the company of today.

His son, Shabbir Yusuf Saboowala, also joined the family business in 1981. He learned the internal nuances of the industry by being directly in charge of projects, and he rapidly formed good rapport with laborers and clients alike. His expertise in waterproofing combined with good decision-making skills quickly resulted in more significant growth for clients for the company. Shabbir emphasized mentorship to his team, allowing him to develop a strong base of skilled management that earned loyalty from the clients through a very customer-centric approach. His principles of transparency, consistency, and honesty remain core to the operations of Shibam and are adhered to by his son, Adnan Shabbir Saboowala. He graduated with a Commerce degree from the University of Mumbai and with an MBA with focus on Family Managed Businesses from S.P. Jain Institute of Management Research. Adnan has taken companies international expansion to the next level by forming international connections with suppliers and oversees the new product development and marketing activities. Guiding his business forward, Adnan sees even greater success in business with mentorship from his predecessors.
