Despite challenging global economic conditions and changing policy environments, the Hinduja family has maintained its position through steady business growth and a strong international presence.

The Hinduja Group, founded more than 111 years ago, continues to follow the vision of its founder, Late Shri Parmanand Deepchand Hinduja, whose philosophy was centered on giving back to society through meaningful work and enterprise. Over the decades, the group has expanded into several sectors while maintaining a focus on economic contribution, job creation, infrastructure development, and community welfare.

Today, the conglomerate operates across 38 countries and has investments spanning mobility, digital technology, banking and financial services, media, project development, lubricants and specialty chemicals, energy, real estate, healthcare, and trading businesses.

In recent years, the group has also increased its focus on sustainable mobility in India. It has made investments in the electric vehicle ecosystem, including charging infrastructure, as part of its long-term strategy towards clean and future-ready transportation solutions.

Apart from its business operations, the Hinduja family continues to support social welfare initiatives through the Hinduja Foundation. The foundation works in areas such as education, healthcare, rural development, and water conservation, benefiting communities in different parts of the world.
