Group tagline

In 1992 the logistics arm Aghin Roadways (ARS) was established. The flagship laundry brand Dr.Wash, manufactured by subsidiary Ashique Chemicals & Cosmetics, today commands a market share of over 40% among branded washing cakes in Kerala.
The group is steered by Dr. Thahir alongside his sons Ashique Thahir and Aghin Thahir, both Joint Managing Directors, with functional heads across each vertical.

Our manifesto
Not a slogan written for a brochure — these lines are engraved into the stone at our Calicut headquarters, beneath the Team Thai mark. They are the standard we hold every division to.
A house that has grown for four decades does not measure itself against last year — it measures itself against next year.
From agriculture to manufacturing, processing, logistics, distribution and retail — we hold every link ourselves.
The point of the chain is the person at the end of it. Quality is how we keep their trust.
Across the length and breadth of India — through ARS, our own logistics arm, since 1992.
Roughly 2,500 people earn their living within the house. That responsibility is not abstract to us.
Everyone that is Team Thai. Let's Grow.
