Hi, some news which was published in the Business Intillenge Middle East in Sep 2006 issue has Aosm connection. You may find it interesting to read.
"In the Arab world fragrances have always been a very personal and integral issue. Ajmal Ali, the founder of the group, realised this 50 years back when he first encountered Arabs in Bombay (now Mumbai). His home province of Assam was abundant in the prime ingredient of perfume Agarwood and Ajmal Ali soon took to blending oils and bulk-supplying them to the Middle East. Later he shifted base to Dubai and came to be known as the Agar tycoon. The second generation of the family now runs a multi-million dollar group diversified into textiles, ready-to-wear, leather and real estate. The one-man operation had become a global conglomerate." more in link http://www.strategygarden.com/BI-ME/main.php?id=5608&t=1&cg=4 With regards and Thanks Dr Debasish Sarma
