Hinduja Family: British-Indian Business Dynasty with Global Impact

The Hinduja Group, valued at $20 billion, operates across 11 sectors worldwide

The Hinduja family is one of the most prominent British-Indian business dynasties, with a net worth estimated at $20 billion. The Hinduja Group operates across eleven sectors, including automotive, oil, and finance, and has been a significant presence in global commerce for over a century.

 

The group was founded by Parmanand Deepchand Hinduja, who began trading goods in Shikarpur (now in Pakistan) in the early 20th century. Over the decades, the family expanded the business internationally, opening their first office outside India in Iran in 1919, and later moving the headquarters to Europe in 1979.

 

Merchant banking and trade remain the core pillars of the Hinduja Group, which has diversified into multiple industries under the leadership of Parmanand Hinduja’s four sons: Srichand, Gopichand, Ashok, and Prakash. After Srichand Hinduja passed away in 2023, Gopichand took over as the chairman of the group. The family is now primarily based in Britain and continues to play a major role in international business.

 

 

The Hinduja Group is also known for its philanthropic activities and contributions to various social initiatives globally, reflecting the family’s long-standing commitment to community development and responsible business practices.
