OUR JOURNEY

From One Enterprise
to a Growing Business Group.

Shaikh Group's journey has been built over time — beginning with engineering and project execution, expanding into new sectors, and gradually developing a portfolio of businesses serving different markets.

OUR BEGINNING
2007
Federate Controls The first chapter of our business journey — an engineering and contracting enterprise established in Kolkata.
2007 WHERE THE JOURNEY BEGAN
THE FIRST CHAPTER

Built from Practical Experience.

The journey began with Federate Controls, established in Kolkata in 2007 as an engineering and contracting enterprise. Its work covered mechanical, electrical, fire detection, fire protection, fabrication, installation and industrial project requirements.

Those early years were shaped by field experience, project responsibilities and the continuous development of technical capability. They established the foundation from which the broader business journey would eventually evolve.
