Wadia Group is an Indian multinational conglomerate, founded in Surat, headquartered in Mumbai.

It was founded by Lovji Nusserwanjee Wadia in 1736 and is the oldest company in India, with its subsidiary The Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation Limited, established in 1863, being the oldest publicly traded Indian company.

Lovji Wadia secured contracts with the British East India Company to build ships and docks in Bombay in 1736.
