Sakar Marbo: Vishwa Thakkar Steps Into a Legacy of Global Tile Excellence

Ahmedabad: Established in 1998 in Morbi, Gujarat, Sakar Marbo, operating under Sakar Granito (India) Private Limited, stands as a testament to the enduring Morbi spirit of innovation, resilience, and global ambition. What began as a local manufacturing venture has grown into a premier export house in the Indian tiling industry, supplying premium vitrified and porcelain tiles to more than 60 countries worldwide.

The foundation of Sakar Marbo was laid by the collective vision of the Thakkar family, led by Jayantilal, Arvind, Dinesh, Hasmukh, Navin and Dhaval Thakkar. At a time when Morbi’s ceramic industry largely focused on basic tiles, the family foresaw the global demand for high-quality vitrified and porcelain surfaces. Early adoption of advanced European manufacturing technology from Sacmi, Italy enabled the company to compete with international brands on quality, scale, and design.

A Family-Led Vision Built on Synergy

As a family-run enterprise, Sakar Marbo’s growth was driven by a clear division of responsibilities across production, procurement, finance, and international marketing. This operational synergy allowed the company to scale from a single production line to a manufacturing capacity exceeding 35,000 square meters per day. Over time, the brand expanded its portfolio to include high-gloss porcelain, full-body vitrified tiles, wooden finishes, bookmatch designs, and specialized parking tiles, catering to both luxury and industrial requirements.

From Morbi to the World

The company’s global leap was accelerated by the younger generation, including Dhaval Thakkar, Kush Thakkar, and Deep Thakkar, who strengthened the export-first approach. With international certifications such as CE and ISO, Sakar Marbo successfully entered competitive markets across Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Today, the brand is recognized as one of India’s leading exporters of premium tiles.

Introducing the Next Generation at Sakar Marbo

Continuing this legacy, Vishwa Thakkar, a college student actively involved in the family business, represents the next generation of leadership at Sakar Marbo. Growing up amid factory floors, export discussions, and international buyer meetings, Vishwa has gained early exposure to the realities of global trade. Alongside academic pursuits, he is hands-on in export operations, international marketing, buyer development, and business processes.

With experience across markets such as Dubai, Indonesia, South Africa & North Africa, Vishwa’s focus is on strengthening Sakar Marbo’s global presence, improving operational efficiency, and building long-term partnerships rooted in trust and consistency.

Legacy, Values, and the Road Ahead

Guided by the philosophy, “Profit builds business. Trust builds legacy,” Sakar Marbo continues to emphasize consistent quality, export-ready packaging, and reliable supply across batches. The company’s wide range of sizes, multiple finishes, and strong buyer relationships reinforce its position as a dependable global partner.

As Sakar Marbo evolves with new leadership, it remains firmly anchored in its founding values, combining decades of manufacturing excellence with modern global ambition.
