The origin of the Kilachand Group can be traced back to over a hundred years ago, when Kilachand Devchand strode a confident path to Bombay from a distant village in Gujarat, Patan. Since then, he and his succeeding generations pioneered the formation and rise of the Kilachand Group, one of the largest houses for industry and trade in cotton and oilseeds.
