Biography edit
Hinduja is a grandson of Indian-born British billionaire businessman S. P. Hinduja, founder of the Hinduja Group and patriarch of the Hinduja family. He grew up in London.[3] His mother is Shanu Hinduja, the elder of S.P.'s two daughters, who is the chair of the Hinduja Foundation US and co-chairperson of Hinduja Global Solutions Inc.[4][5] His father is Suren Mukhi, son of Narsi and Janki Mukhi of a Sindhi trading family based in London.[6]
He received his B.A. from Columbia University.[7] He also spent a year at Nick Bollettieri's IMG Academy in Florida in a bid to become a professional tennis player before a Herniated disc forced him to return to Europe to join the family business.[7][8]
He took charge of the Hinduja Bank in early 2020 and led a rebranding effort, renaming Hinduja Bank into SP Hinduja Banque Privee, a move he claims is meant to honor his grandfather, who founded the bank in 1978.[9] He also signaled a shift in the bank's management strategy in attracting a younger and tech-oriented clientele.[10][11]
Hinduja is also the CEO and founder of Timeless Media and digital media platform Karma Network that promotes alternative investing principles.[12][13][14] He has criticized the British government for failing to act on climate change and has called on businesses to step up their commitment to environmental sustainability.[15]
