Indian Billionaire Hinduja Family


The Hinduja family is a prosperous lineage with ties to India, Iran, and the UK. Originating from modest beginnings in Sindh, they became globally recognized across various industries. The Hinduja Group, which they manage, operates in diverse sectors such as trucks, lubricants, banking, and cable television.

In that same year, he relocated his banking and trading operations to Bombay (now Mumbai) and by 1919, he had opened an office in Iran.
