Enigma: ^^ However, the question arises though --- who are the shareholders of Dana Air and/or Dana Group? Did the shareholders fly the plain? What nonsense question is the above? Who cares who the shareholders are? You are told the company is not an Indian company, now you want to go attack the shareholders, many of whom only sought to invest in a couple that gave them good returns on their investment. 1 Like |

^^^ The directorship is not the determinant of whether the company is an "Indian" company or not. Also, the fact that the company is incorporated in Nigeria (a mandatory requirement anyway) while relevant does not mean that effective control may not be Nigerian. What determines it is the nationality of the controlling shareholding/shareholders. When Virgin was operating in Nigeria, was it really a Nigerian company as such? ![]() |

What determines it is the nationality of the controlling shareholding/shareholders. Plausible, which is why I made the presumptuous statement that Indians might control the largest bloc of shares. Also how come the Indians listed below occupy both positions of chairman and executive director of the DANA Group. R[b]amesh Hathiramani – Group Chairman[/b] Born in West Africa in 1950, his career spans over four decades of fruitful endeavour. As a young graduate, and himself an entrepreneur at heart, he commenced his own trading operations in the early 70s. Some years later, breaking away from the tradition of dealing in general merchandise, he laid the foundations of his first pharmaceutical manufacturing unit. The seed of what was to become the Dana Group of Companies was sown and over the years he began diversifying into new fields, specialising in the MNC dominated field of industrial chemicals. Further expansions into new industries continued alongside a growing portfolio of trading operations, popularising the Dana brand as a name synonymous with quality and affordability, and also representing world-class brands in Nigeria and the Sub-Saharan region. His business enterprise and acumen have resulted into a well diversified and financially strong Group of Companies recognised as a foremost business house in Nigeria with a firm industrial base Jacky Hathiramani – Group Managing Director As the Group Managing Director, Jacky has to his credit many business innovations that have enabled Dana Group to successfully foray into diversified fields in new product lines. An honours graduate in Business Administration from European Business School of London, he has, since 1997 been responsible for strategically directing the Group in building a formidable niche in Nigeria as a conglomerate dealing within several sectors of the economy. He has steered the Dana Group to its current status as a leading player and his presence has seen the Group increase its turnover manifold. The drive into Automobiles and Steel has assured success, which has been further augmented by the recently established FMCG factory for Milk Powder packaging and Instant Noodles. The upcoming new Rice Mill and Steel Rolling Mill has been added to his portfolio. Gautam Hathiramani – Group Executive Director With an Honours Degree in Business Administration from the European Business School and various internships in international trade and the pharmaceutical manufacturing arena, Gautam Hathiramani joined the Group's mainstream operations in Nigeria in 1999. At first involved with the pharmaceutical division, he then took charge of Dana Plast and was also responsible for the Group's initial foray into the FMCG market with the launch of Aquadana water. Consistent attention to product quality and development has led to Dana being established as a trusted household name. With this seal of quality and dynamic management, Dana is set to roll out further expansion plans to bring more products to its customers. 1 Like |

Whether indians own the largest block of shares or not, Nigeria has just shown the world that it is INTOLERANT of people of other races. The plane was not flown by an indian, the plane in question has yet to be investigated, and there has, not been any real evidence presented that it was faulty from the hanger to begin with, but so many Nigerians have gone online to demand that the company be punished on grounds that it is owned/run by Indians. |
Re: Dana Air Is Not An Indian Company by Enigma(m): 10:19pm On Jun 06, 2012 |
@ frosbel (edited) Also, if you look carefully at the list of names: - one Nigerian is listed twice i.e. Elias (and I know for sure it is one and the same person) - some of the companies that are directors at least have Indian names - one director listed as 'British' is of Indian origin - at least by his name - and some of the Indian names suggest a family relationship of some sort - what is the nationality of the controlling shareholding of the other companies listed as directors - who are the nominees/representatives of these companies on the Board since the companies are themselves artificial persons Overall, if the company is Indian owned or controlled, it is not 'racism' to call it an Indian company. No fight --- just facts. ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |

I am definitely not one of them if you had read my earlier comments on the other 'racist' thread. This is some incoming news that debunked earlier claims that the company was India owned. Anyway sounds ambiguous to me. |

The latent passive-aggressive racism that rears its head in Nigeria never ceases to amaze me. Which is of more importance, why this incident occurred in the first place or an obsession about the ethnicity of the owners? Misplaced priorities. |

Whether it is an Indian company or not is besides the point. Was Bellview Airlines also Indian? Was ADC indian? Was Sosoliso indian?. . .and so on and so forth. People just like giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it. In any case, I'd rather fly an Indian owned plane than a Nigerian owned one if I had the choice. . .both countries are certainly light years apart in technical competence and whatnot, so what is the point, really? People need to quit being so ridiculous. |

Clearly, you dont know jack about Indian-run businesses in Nigeria. The rate at which you have been too keen to defend Indians is becoming worrisome. Keep defending Dana and Indians until you will fall prey to their crooked ways one day. Those of us that have first hand experience know this is not a one-off. Those people get as dem be, at least in Nigeria where they act with impunity. No allow dem Jugnu music deceive you o! Do a detailed and extensive survey of people who have worked under Indians in our hospitals, telecoms and manufacturing industries, then come back and give us an honest report. Not ALL indians are bad (just as not all Nigerians are bad) but kai, dem get plenty corner-cutting crooks among dem people. Shine ya eyes, bros. Just my advice. Dont insult me. 4 Likes |

Get off this your high horse. You are one of those who condemn a Nigerian the most when he/she is accused of anything abroad whether or not he/she has been found guilty. It is also people like you in various govt departments who let foreigners get away with everything in the name of tolerance. Why have the Indians not been seen since the plane crash? Do you think Nigerians will be allowed to own an airline in India? What planet do you live on? Nigerians don't tolerate foreigners and foreigners are looting the country with local collaborators.
