Hinduja Brothers: The Edgy Family Business at the Third Generation

Abstract

The Hinduja Group, a closely held conglomerate, is among the world’s richest and valued centurion family business. Second-generation brothers are known for fellowship, legacy and togetherness. The four brothers’ sibling partnerships worked successfully for 50 years. They see all businesses as the Hinduja family’s business and not of any individual or any individual branch’s business. The third generation holds the reins and is working closely with the fourth generation. The family has a fortune worth $11.2 billion, which now stands disputed because the letter that all four brothers willingly signed in 2014 is now being contested in a legal battle in 2020. According to the letter, the financial assets of each brother belonged to every other brother and that each of them would appoint the others as their executors. The issue in the Hinduja family came in the light at the cousin’s consortium, when Srichand Hinduja’s daughter Vinoo moved to High Court in England, for the transition of ownership, seeking control of Switzerland-based Hinduja Bank for her family. The Hindujas face the twin threats of embarrassing exposures and a fragmentation of the family fortune at the third generation.
