[edit] Early life

Although his forefathers had been in business, his parents wanted him to be a doctor. He studied in a science college and was a very keen sportsman who played cricket seven days a week. He also became involved in the college union. However, that took up a lot of time and unfortunately he did not do well in his exams and was a failure as a student. At that point in time he realized that he should not have been wasting his time with sports and union activities when he had not yet finished his education.

[edit] Marriott Islamabad

Marriott too, belongs to Hashoo Group. When Hashoo Group started using the Marriott name it was one of the first times in the history of the corporation that they had given a franchise to a hotel that was not directly under their management control. An achievement for Hashoo group, indeed. Sadruddin Hashwani terms it as a matter of great satisfaction because when he met Bill Marriott he had never thought about the franchise. Then they sent their people to inspect these hotels before offering the franchise. As a matter of fact, the franchise agreement of the Marriott was made based on Hashwani’s hotel contract and drafted here in Pakistan. Today the format of franchise agreements has been initiated by the Hashoo Group and Sadruddin Hashwani is very satisfied that Marriott decided to recognize the product and lend it their name.[1]
