It took years of continuous hard work and dedication for Kataria Associates to be realized from a dream to reality.

From the very start, we adopted the motto of providing quality, value, and convenience to our customers. Due to mutual respect and understanding, we managed to win the trust of our customers and became the top store in the city in very little time. The hard work continued and soon, we took over the challenge of providing everything under one roof to meet the needs of our customers. With this in mind, we started our own retail store chain in 2011. This was the first modern departmental store chain that provided all household essential items under one roof at economical rates in the area.

Our customers’ trust and belief in us kept us striving to provide quality, value, and convenience to them. And that is what Kataria stands for. Kataria Private Limited was formed in 2020 to provide an umbrella to the projects which have laid the basis of Kataria Associates. Now, Kataria has expanded its expertise in multiple business horizons including retail, production, warehousing and logistics. Karia Associates aims to provide the best value and convenience at minimal prices. And we vow to serve our customers by continuing to provide the best quality, and never deter from our path.
