Dato’ Sri Mohammad Ismail Bin Norbat, better known as Haji Ismail, is the Founder and CEO of Andaraya (M) Sdn Bhd and its group of companies.

Founded in 1989 with just five staff members, Andaraya Malaysia Sdn Bhd (AMSB) has expanded into a nationwide organization, now boasting over 100 permanent staff and nine branch offices across Malaysia.

From its humble beginnings, Andaraya built a strong reputation in manpower recruitment, manpower supply, human resources outsourcing, and immigration-related services—a legacy that continued until March 2019. Today, manpower solutions remain the company’s core business, serving clients with dedication and excellence.

At Andaraya Group, our strength lies in our passion—a commitment to delivering top-quality workforce solutions to clients who trust us with their HR needs. We are backed by a team of professional, dedicated, and experienced staff who share our vision and work ethic.

As we embrace new challenges, we remain focused on our mission: to redefine personnel management and support services, provide exceptional value, exceed client expectations, and establish Andaraya as a leading brand in the industry.

Haji Ismail is recognized for his strong business acumen and outstanding leadership. In 2013, he was honored with the Master Class Award – Leading in Human Resources by the ASEAN Outstanding Business Awards.
