Chowgule House,25th of October, 1916 marked the birth of the founder of the modern day Chowgule group, Vishwasrao Chowgule. Thus began a journey that would make history.
Seizing an opportunity to make a mark in the global arena, the company started exporting bamboo and trading in Mangalore tiles. A small beginning, these enterprises were the sole businesses of the family at the time.
Vishwasrao wanted to expand the range of products an average Goan had access to. Thus, he started his first venture, acting as the local distributor for imported products like Ronson lighters, Kienzle clocks, Chrysler cars, Marvin, Rolex and Tudor wrist watches, Dodge trucks, etc. In 1943, the Chowgules supported the construction of a library in Goa. This was one of the first community projects undertaken by the family.
