Ivan Mirzoev (Armenian: Հովաննես Միրզոյան) (died 1880) was an Armenian businessman.

Life

Born into an Armenian family in Tbilisi, Ivan Mirzoev moved to Baku and began working in the silk trade. In 1855, he then opened a fishery company on the banks of the Caspian sea, which employed 2,500 people.[1]

First business

In the years between 1821 and 1872, the Russian Czarist government maintained a monopoly to barbershops.


After Mirzoev's death, his wife Daria, sons Gregory and Melkon, and daughter Maria founded the barbers industry and the partnership known as Brothers Mirzoev with a grand capital of 2.1 million rubles in 1886.
