Background
Landmark Group is a Dubai-headquartered retail and hospitality group founded in Bahrain in 1973 by Micky Jagtiani and chaired since 2017 by Renuka Jagtiani, with annual revenue above $7 billion and roughly 2,200 stores in more than 15 countries across the Middle East, Africa, India and Southeast Asia. No recorded donations, investments, contracts or statements in support of Israel were found for the group, its brands or the Jagtiani family. Landmark differs from most of the large Gulf retail houses in that its principal names — Centrepoint, Max Fashion, Splash, Babyshop, Home Centre, Shoemart, Lifestyle, Emax — are brands it owns and created itself rather than Western franchises, so the usual boycott question about paying royalties to a foreign brand owner mostly does not arise; where it does hold licences, those are for named markets that do not include Israel. Landmark has no stores in Israel and no disclosed Israeli suppliers, investments or joint ventures. It appears on the activist site boycottuae.org, but that campaign targets Emirati groups over UAE state policy and market dominance rather than over any documented act toward Israel, and an advocacy listing is not treated as evidence here. Landmark is privately held: it publishes no audited group accounts and files nothing with US regulators, so the absence recorded on this page rests on press coverage and the company's own announcements rather than on regulatory filings.

What we checked
- News & official statements — 2026-07-30Reviewed Landmark Group's official site and announcements plus Gulf News, Arabian Business, Forbes Middle East and Entrepreneur Middle East coverage for 2020–2026: no donation, sponsorship, investment or statement relating to Israel found, and no Israeli market entry reported.
- Nonprofit tax filings (Form 990) — 2026-07-30No US-registered Landmark Group foundation appears in ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer; the group's giving runs through UAE and Indian vehicles that file no US Form 990. No Israel-linked grantmaking identified.
- SEC filings — 2026-07-30Landmark Group has no SEC registration or CIK; it is a private UAE company with no US-listed securities, so US disclosure systems do not apply and contain nothing about it.
- Federal election records (FEC) — 2026-07-30No Landmark Group committee appears in FEC records; foreign corporations and foreign nationals may not contribute in US federal elections, so no US political money trail exists.
