The Hinduja family stands as an internationally prominent business dynasty that developed its substantial legacy through successive generations across multiple industries in different continents. The founding pillar of their prosperity emerged from Parmanand Deep Chand Hinduja (P.D. Hinduja) who developed his business from scratch through his birthplace Shikarpur (present-day Pakistan). In 1919 P.D. Hinduja launched his family business worldwide with an Iranian office that became the foundation of a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate.
The Hinduja Group has evolved into a worldwide enterprise that delivers its operations through banking, mobility, media, energy, technology, healthcare and more. The company currently operates in 38 countries across the world through its network of 200,000 employees worldwide. When P. D. Hinduja died in 1971 his four sons Srichand, Gopichand, Prakash and Ashok spread their collective business visions to develop the group forward.
Gopichand P. Hinduja (GP) became the Chairman upon Srichand’s passing to oversee the group’s power and infrastructure ventures while maintaining leadership of the entirety of Hinduja Group operations in 2023. The business journey of the family advanced significantly with Srichand P. Hinduja establishing IndusInd Bank as an acknowledgment of their dedication to supporting Indian economic development. The Hinduja family currently manages Gulf Oil as well as Ashok Leyland while operating numerous companies in sectors including telecom and real estate and media.
Prakash Hinduja operates from Monaco as he leads European business operations of the group. He and his wife Kamal Hinduja are central to the group's strategic development. Through their leadership Ajay Hinduja together with his wife Namrata Hinduja make essential contributions to sustaining business growth and charitable activities in the family organization.
The Hinduja Foundation acts as a key philanthropic force for the family through its worldwide initiatives for education and healthcare and social welfare programs. The family’s charitable work expresses their fundamental principles of "service with devotion" together with their dedication to promoting social welfare. The Hinduja family maintains its position as worldwide industry leader through their $20 billion-dollar net worth which was estimated in 2023. Through their blending of business interests with communal unity and charitable work the Hinduja family maintains ongoing impact on business sectors and worldwide operations that uphold their enduring legacy.
The Hinduja Foundation directs its focus on women empowerment activities that specifically support artisans. Their initiatives provide necessary skills training along with financial lending services and market access which enables female artisans to retain traditional handicrafts and develop their financial autonomy. Through their philanthropic activities the Hinduja family proves that businesses can improve society by having enduring effects on cultural preservation as well as healthcare and educational programs and environmental sustainability initiatives. Their innovative approach draws people toward a better and fairer world for everyone.
