A Legacy of Absolute Trust & Gratitude

For five decades, D. Watson has stood as Pakistan's most trusted chain for certified pharmaceuticals, international beauty brands, optical precision, and premium daily superstore shopping.

Founded in 1978 by three brothers — Chairman Zafar Iqbal Bakhtawari, Co-Chairman Zahid Bakhtawari, and CEO Abid Bakhtawari — D. Watson was named in heartfelt homage to Dr. Watson, a British ophthalmologist who cured Mr. Bakhtawari's eye illness in England during his youth. The legacy and nationwide expansion continues through the dynamic second generation of the Bakhtawari family: Ahsan Zafar Bakhtawari (Managing Director, son of Chairman Zafar Iqbal Bakhtawari), Bilal Zahid Bakhtawari (Director, son of Co-Chairman Zahid Bakhtawari), and Haris Bakhtawari & Salman Bakhtawari (Directors, sons of CEO Abid Bakhtawari) — leading D. Watson's continuous innovation across 25+ modern branches.
