Muscat: Mr. Koshy P Thomas, Founder Director of Decorstone International LLC, passed away on Sunday evening at his residence in Chennai after battling illness for over a year. He was 76.
A prominent figure in Oman’s business landscape, Mr. Thomas spent 45 years in the Sultanate, where he pioneered the development of Decorstone—specialized decorative cladding stones designed for Omani climatic conditions.
Beyond business, he was widely respected for his philanthropic work, actively campaigning against drug abuse, alcoholism, and suicide. He authored several books on these issues and was an elder at the Muttrah Brethren Assembly, remaining a dedicated member of the Protestant Church in Oman.
Mr. Thomas is survived by his three children.
