For generations of Indians living in the UAE, the Adil Group of Supermarkets has been more than a retail destination, it has been a reassuring link to home. Over the years, the brand has earned deep trust by consistently delivering authentic Indian food products that preserve tradition, quality, and taste. Today, with over 50 outlets across the GCC, Adil Group stands as one of the most respected names in ethnic retail in the region.

The driving force behind this success is Dr. Dhananjay Datar, Chairman and Managing Director of the Adil Group, affectionately known as the “Masala King.” A visionary entrepreneur with a deep understanding of community needs, Dr. Datar transformed a simple retail concept into a cultural institution. Under his leadership, Adil Group introduced a comprehensive range of Indian essentials — spices, pulses, grains, flours, festive specialties, sweets, and ready-to-cook foods, making Indian kitchens abroad feel complete.

What truly distinguishes the Adil Group is its pioneering focus on pure vegetarian supermarkets, a concept that resonated strongly with families seeking authenticity, purity, and ethical sourcing. By maintaining uncompromising quality standards while keeping products affordable, the brand has remained accessible to every segment of the community.

Sharing his thoughts on India’s Republic Day, Dr Datar says: “Republic Day is a powerful reminder of India’s values — unity, resilience, and cultural pride. At Adil Group, our mission has always been to serve the Indian community abroad by keeping them connected to their roots. The trust of our customers has been our greatest strength, and it inspires us to keep raising our standards. As India celebrates this historic day, we renew our commitment to strengthening the bond between India and the UAE.”

Beyond commerce, the Adil Group plays an active role in community development. From supporting cultural celebrations to partnering with charitable initiatives, the group consistently gives back to society. These efforts reflect the core values of compassion, inclusivity, and service — principles that align closely with the spirit of the Indian Constitution.

As India marks its Republic Day, the Adil Group of Supermarkets proudly celebrates the nation’s democratic journey and cultural richness. Through its continued efforts in the UAE, the Group stands as a shining example of how businesses can bridge nations, preserve heritage, and foster lasting people-to-people connections between India and the UAE.
