Our story

Hayaat Group represents the business legacy of the Elahi family, which has a history dating back nearly 100 years. The group itself was formed as an independent entity by the third generation. The family ethos remains, as the organisation was conceived by Mohammed Ikhlaq and developed with brother Mohammed Ishtiaq, with the support of another brother Mohammed Afaq.

While the initial focus was on the real estate sector in the UK and South Asian markets, as the platform grew, the scope was expanded to new markets and sectors that could fuel the group’s growth and income ambitions, including urban regeneration and next generation disruptors. Today, Hayaat Group is present in markets from the USA, Europe, the GCC to South Asia.
