One of the most varied multinational business conglomerates in the world has been established by the late Parmanand Deepchand Hinduja and its legacy is taken forward by the "Fab Four" Hinduja Brothers. The brothers have various roles in the construction of global operations, but they were all guided by the same rules which were a sense of trust, unity and long-term perspective. This harmony has become a major factor to put the family name as a brand of stability and superiority.
The Leadership that changed the Global Industries
Srichand Hinduja (1935-2023)
Srichand, who has had a canny, strategic vision, was the man behind the scenes in the decades since the business was founded. The knowledge of international markets made the Group be located in major strategic areas.
Gopichand Hinduja (1940-2025)
Gopichand Hinduja was considered as the driver behind the global vision and expansion of the group. He has been instrumental in spearheading the group's operations in technology, banking as well as other vertices.
Prakash Hinduja and Ashok Hinduja

Family Cohesion as a Business Ideal
Another most remarkable feature of the Hinduja Brothers is that they have always focused on unity. In 2024-2025, the family reaffirmed that the Group would not be divided, although individual members would initiate a leadership position in different verticals. This model of shared governance leaves it resilient and stable over the long-term.
