Hinduja Group
The Hinduja Group began in 1914 when Parmanand Deepchand Hinduja established trading links between India and Iran. Successive generations expanded into manufacturing and services while retaining family ownership. Gopichand P. Hinduja serves as group chairman; Prakash P. Hinduja leads European operations and Ashok P. Hinduja directs Indian activities. Deployment spans private equity, real estate, infrastructure and private credit. Positions include controlling stakes in Ashok Leyland and Gulf Oil International. Additional holdings cover The OWO mixed-use development in London and the JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu. Capital is deployed through direct co-investments, SPVs and select fund commitments. Activity covers Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. The office maintains an estimated $20B in assets and operates from Mumbai with a London presence. Adjacent vehicles include the Hinduja Foundation for philanthropic grants. In the last 24 months the group continued ownership of Elemential Labs and British Metal Corporation (India). Family members hold memberships in YPO and the Sotheby’s International Council. Governance remains concentrated within the founding family branches. Operating companies such as Ashok Leyland supply both cash flow and co-investment opportunities. This integration of industrial ownership with financial allocation distinguishes the structure from pure investment offices.
