Indian Hirers

Since 1977

Three Generations, One Promise

A family crockery hire business that began in Malad, Mumbai, in 1977 and has been in Vadodara since 2001.

Our story

Our journey didn't start with a grand vision of luxury; it started with the simple desire to serve. In 1977, Mr. Jasvantlal Satilal Gabhawala opened a very small shop in Malad, Mumbai. We learned the fundamentals of this business from the ground up, fulfilling small orders and understanding exactly what it takes to make an event run smoothly. Those early days taught us that hospitality is entirely about reliability and genuine care.

In 2001, Nikesh Jasvantlal Gabhawala brought this ethos to Vadodara. He started with nothing more than a handful of steel plates and a drive to build something lasting. Over the years, as the scale of events in Gujarat grew, so did we. Nikesh carefully expanded the inventory from basic utensils to premium melamine and fine glassware. He built the business not through marketing, but by consistently delivering on his promises to local caterers and event hosts.

By 2015, we saw a shift in how people celebrated and became one of the first to introduce fine bone china on rental—a decision that redefined the standard for premium events in the region. Like many businesses, the years during the pandemic tested everything we had built. But Nikesh refused to let the legacy fade. He kept the business afloat through the hardest seasons and rebuilt our operations piece by piece, ensuring that our standard of quality was never compromised.

Growing Together

In 2023, the third generation stepped in. Jay Nikesh Gabhawala joined his father, bringing fresh energy to expand our operations. Today, we are the trusted crockery partner for Gujarat's finest hotels, restaurants, and caterers. From a tiny shop in Mumbai in 1977 to a premier rental service, our work remains rooted in the exact same principle we started with: providing impeccable quality and dependable service, carried forward from grandfather, to father, to son.
