BusinessHyderabad's Abids Market Named After Nizam's Assistant Albert Abid
Hyderabad's famous Abids market is named not after a king but after Albert Abid, an Armenian assistant to the sixth Nizam. In the 19th century, Albert opened a luxurious store called 'Abid and Company' where the Nizam shopped. The original building was replaced by Palace Talkies in 1939 and later transformed into a modern shopping complex in the 1980s. Despite changes, the area retains Albert Abid's name as a key commercial hub.
