The Hinduja Group is a multinational conglomerate with diverse business interests spanning across the globe. Founded in 1914 in Sindh, British India (now Pakistan), the group's operations currently encompass a wide range of sectors, including automotive, banking and finance, energy, IT, healthcare, and infrastructure. The group's history is characterized by strategic acquisitions, global expansion, and a focus on long-term investment. The Hinduja brothers, Srichand, Gopichand, Prakash, and Ashok Hinduja, have been instrumental in shaping the group's global presence and its diversified portfolio. Their operations are characterized by a complex network of subsidiaries and joint ventures across numerous countries, often operating under different brand names and with varying degrees of public visibility, reflecting a decentralized approach to management. The group's significant holdings include Ashok Leyland (commercial vehicles), IndusInd Bank (banking), and Gulf Oil International (energy). The Hinduja Group's scale and global reach place it among the largest and most influential family-owned business groups in the world.
