FOUNDER'S HISTORY
GROWING UP IN A FAMILY OF ENTREPRENEURS
A Century of Enterprise
The story of Nizra Group begins with a deep-rooted family legacy that dates back to the early 1900s, when Nik Iruwan’s ancestors built a thriving business in Malaysia’s batik manufacturing industry. Over time, that spirit of enterprise evolved into FMCG distribution and, later, into the pioneering Mofaz Group — one of Malaysia’s first homegrown conglomerates, with ventures in automotive, aviation services, and leisure marine.
A Hands-On Beginning
Nik Iruwan didn’t inherit a business.
He inherited the mindset.
From distributing beverages to retailers in the Klang Valley, to clearing imported vehicles at port and selling cars in showrooms, his entrepreneurial journey began on the ground. Each role, each task, each challenge became part of a lived education in business and resilience.
His First Venture
In 2008, Nik Iruwan launched his first independent company — a motorsport outfit managing young racing drivers and importing high-performance karting equipment from Italy. It was a lean, fast-moving operation, built not from legacy wealth but from bold initiative.
By 2012, he was appointed Director of Hamza Motors, the family’s import car trading business. There, he gained first-hand experience in administration, operations, and commercial execution — sharpening the tools he would later use to build his own vision.
Building Nizra
In 2016, Nik Iruwan founded his own automotive company with a mission to modernise and expand the traditional model. Taking strategic leadership of Hamza Motors, he launched new showrooms in Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, and Johor Bahru — doubling the company’s vehicle imports and sales within two years.
But this success marked only the beginning.
Expanding Beyond Automotive
Fuelled by momentum, he ventured into new industries — defence technology, film production, live entertainment, and infrastructure. Each business was built independently, carrying the same entrepreneurial DNA but guided by a future-focused, unifying vision.
To bring everything under one umbrella, Nizra Group Berhad was born — a modern, multi-sector enterprise with shared services, strategic focus, and bold ambition.
A Headquarters to Symbolise the Journey
In 2018, construction began on a purpose-built headquarters.
By 2021, The Nizra Building was completed — not just a physical home for the company, but a symbol of vision, execution, and belief in what’s possible when you start from zero and build something real.
Legacy-Inspired. Future-Focused.
Nizra Group is not a hand-me-down.
It is a company built with discipline, driven by originality, and inspired by legacy — but determined to write a new one of its own.
