Habib Elghanian

Iranian Jewish businessman (1909–1979)

In the history of business, Habib Elghanian is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Habib Elghanian as Iranian Jewish businessman (1909–1979).

Habib Elghanian was born at Tehran in 1909. His recorded nationality is Iran.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.

The record gives his occupations as entrepreneur, businessperson and philanthropist.

Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.

That the work was done from Iran matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Habib Elghanian died in 1979 at the age of 70. The work outlived the arguments around it.
