Millat Group (Farooqui Family Office)

Millat Group (Farooqui Family Office)

Millat Group was established in 2016 by Hamza Farooqui. The office oversees capital generated by the Farooqui family's prior activities in banking, hospitality, energy, convenience retail, and technology. The office allocates across private equity and real estate. It executes through direct ownership, strategic operating partnerships, and master franchise agreements. Confirmed holdings include multiple Hyatt-branded hotels in Cape Town, Sandton, and Rosebank plus MJets aviation assets in Bangkok. Geographic reach centers on South Africa with additional exposure in Thailand and selected markets in the Middle East and Central Asia. No public headcount or AUM figure is available. The office maintains membership in the World Travel & Tourism Council executive committee and YPO. Philanthropic vehicles include the HAKA Charitable Foundation and the South African Muslim Charitable Trust. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The structure separates investment decisions from the family's operating businesses while retaining direct control over hotel assets and franchise rights. This hybrid model allows the office to act simultaneously as owner, franchisor, and limited partner in brand-managed properties.
