 | | Jamsetjee, the youngest son of cloth weaver Jeejeebhoy and his wife, Jeevibai, was born in the `Yatha Ahu Vairyo Mohalla' near the Crawford Market in Bombay on July 15, 1783. |
 | | All along, Jamsetjee's partner was his uncle with whom he began his humble career as an bottle-seller, Framjee Batlivala, whose daughter, Avabai, became Jamsetjee's wife when he was 20, and she ten. |
 | | After the death of his uncle (and father-in-law), Jamsetjee took Motichand Amichand (a Hindu) and Mohomedali Rogay (a Konkani Muslim) as his partners in the firm Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy and Co., and their efforts were enormously successful. |
