GB, as Choithram was known popularly among the business community, was the former president of Dubai Indian Association and Indian Sports Club and also the trustee of several institutions, including the Indian High School, Dubai. He was also on the board of Dubai Electricity Board.
GB is survived by his wife Kishori Choithram Jethwani, his sons Deepak Choithram Jethwani and Girish Choithram Jethwani, and four daughters.
GB established his flagship company in Dubai in 1950. After establishing a strong and prominent position in the textile business, Geebee Group has grown into family business with diversified interests in manufacture, exports and imports, trading and distribution.
GB's family members were exporters of textiles to Dubai, Bahrain and Kuwait during the pre-partition days. They operated out of Karachi and after partition in 1947, GB's family business moved to Mumbai. They established their head office in Mumbai and then started an office in Dubai in 1954 under GB's stewardship.
Before settling in Dubai, GB set up business in Bahrain where his company had joint businesses with local firms importing textiles, and then he moved on to Kuwait before finally landing in Sharjah on June 9, 1954 on a six-seater aircraft just months after his marriage.
