Trusted Partners to the World’s Finest Mills

OUR STORY

Since 1951, N J Bhagwan (“NJB”) has brought the world’s finest textiles to Southeast Asia.

Built on a foundation of quality, trust, and service, we have grown into a leading agent, distributor, and stockist representing some of the most respected textile brands.
Today, as a third-generation family business, we work closely with wholesalers, tailors, garment makers, and haute couture houses — offering exceptional fabrics, deep market knowledge, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Looking ahead to the next 75 years, NJB remains dedicated to bridging the East and West, and to being your trusted partner for the world’s finest fabrics.

Vishal Advani

Managing Director

I joined NJB in 2015 after a decade in investment banking, driven by the desire to continue my family’s legacy in the textile trade.

While our roots are firmly grounded in tradition, much of my focus has been on preparing NJB for the future — improving how we work, modernising how we serve our customers, and building a brand that reflects who we are today.

What I enjoy most is working closely with our partners, suppliers, customers, and our team. Every conversation brings a new perspective, and I believe the best results come from listening, collaborating, and solving problems together.

Suraj Nanwani

Director

I joined NJB in 1993 when we were just a small team of three. Those were humble yet formative years — built on hard work, shared values, and a vision to grow beyond boundaries.

Looking back, the journey has been incredibly fulfilling. From those early days to now being a shareholder, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing NJB’s transformation — not only in scale, but in spirit. What truly defines our success is the enduring relationships we’ve built and the trust we’ve earned along the way.

Looking ahead, I am inspired to see the next generation step into the world of tailoring with fresh creativity and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. Trends may change, but the essence of tailoring — the precision, the artistry, and the pride in creating something truly personal — is timeless.
