The story behind Katari Radiance began decades before the name itself. It is a story of family entrepreneurship, adaptation, customer trust and the ability to evolve with changing markets.
The family business journey began when S. Sajjan Singh Katari came to Ludhiana and established a retail cloth merchant business under the name Sajjan Singh Amolak Singh.
He introduced his nephew, S. Amolak Singh, as a partner, laying the foundation of a family enterprise built on trust, hard work and long-standing customer relationships.
In the difficult years following Partition, shortages and concerns around hoarding and black marketing led to government regulation of cloth distribution through rationing and quota systems. Sajjan Singh Amolak Singh was among the early Ludhiana cloth retailers serving customers through this regulated system.
The business was subsequently carried forward by S. Harcharn Singh Katari, son of S. Sajjan Singh Katari, while retaining the established firm name.
He expanded beyond conventional cloth retail into trading and wholesale distribution of dress materials and fabrics sourced from mills in Bombay, including names such as Kamal, Tacfab and others.
Another major growth phase came with the introduction of Surat fabrics, including collections from names such as Prag, Prafull, Jain Uday and others.
The textile business became a recognised establishment operating from Gujjar Mal Road, Ludhiana, where it continued until 2002.
On 7 April 2000, Kamal Deep Singh Katari joined the family business, marking the entry of the third generation.
He started a retail shop in A/C Market, Bhadaur House, Ludhiana, creating a new retail-focused direction alongside the established textile business.
In 2002, the business completely shifted from Gujjar Mal Road, Ludhiana to A/C Market, Bhadaur House, Ludhiana, with retail becoming the primary focus.
This marked a decisive transition away from the traditional credit-based wholesale model toward a more organised and customer-focused retail business.
From 2005 onwards, the family increasingly moved toward organised franchise retail and gained practical operating experience through fashion and lifestyle retail businesses associated with brands such as Liberty Shoes, DeExtase, Tag Hills and Koutons Retail India Ltd.
These years built strong experience in customer service, merchandising, retail systems, store management, team development and brand-led business models.
In 2012, the family took another major step by entering premium jewellery retail through Tanishq.
The experience built over generations in customer relationships and retail operations was combined with the systems, standards and discipline required for organised jewellery retail.
The jewellery business later expanded with a second outlet in Nawanshahr, Punjab.
From 2015 onwards, the family began systematically investing in commercial real estate as a long-term diversification strategy.
The objective was to build a portfolio of income-generating retail and commercial properties capable of creating stable passive rental income alongside the operating businesses.
Over time, this developed into a diversified portfolio of retail spaces and commercial assets, with an emphasis on quality locations, long-term ownership and sustainable rental income.
This real estate strategy became an important second pillar of the family enterprise, complementing active retail operations with asset-backed income and long-term capital appreciation.
On 5 August 2024, another significant milestone was achieved with the strengthening of the Ludhiana jewellery business through a purpose-built retail property at Link Road, Model Town, Ludhiana.
The property provides approximately 11,000 sq. ft. of retail area and represents the evolution of a business that had moved from a traditional cloth shop to wholesale textiles, organised fashion retail, premium jewellery retail and long-term commercial real estate ownership.
Throughout this journey, one of the greatest strengths of the business has been active family participation.
Hobby Katari, wife of S. Harcharn Singh Katari, has been an important part of the family’s strength and continuity.
The legacy is now being carried forward with the participation of Manpreet Katari, wife of Kamal Deep Singh Katari, continuing the same family-enterprise philosophy into the next generation.
Katari Radiance represents the next stage of this multi-generation journey.
What began as a cloth merchant business in Ludhiana has evolved across textiles, wholesale trading, fashion retail, organised franchise retail, jewellery, commercial real estate and investments.
Today, the philosophy combines active operating businesses with long-term ownership of income-generating commercial assets and disciplined capital allocation.
Trust in relationships. Adaptability in business. Discipline in growth. Long-term ownership. And the courage to evolve with changing times.
Our objective is to create enduring businesses, dependable income-producing assets and lasting value for generations to come.
