Mohammad Namazi

Iranian businessman (1896–1972)

Mohammad Namazi is remembered in business for decisions whose consequences outlived the decade that made them.

The record lists Mohammad Namazi as Iranian businessman (1896–1972).

Mohammad Namazi was born at Shiraz in 1896. His recorded nationality is Iran.

Around the turn of the twentieth century the corporation became the dominant economic form, along with the antitrust politics that followed it.

He worked as entrepreneur, businessperson and philanthropist.

What a company leaves behind is usually infrastructure, habit and employment rather than a name.

That the business was built from Iran shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.

Mohammad Namazi died in 1972, aged 76. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
