About Gopichand Hinduja
Gopichand works as the chairman of the Hinduja Group. He assumed this position in May 2023 after the death of his older brother Srichand Hinduja. The Hinduja family also holds a strong foothold in the real estate sector in London where the most famous property is the Raffles London Hotel located in the historic Old War Office building in Whitehall.
Graduation from India
Gopichand Hinduja completed his graduation in 1959 from Jai Hind College in Mumbai. After that he obtained a doctorate in law from Westminster University. Gopichand did not stop there; he also pursued a doctorate in economics from Richmond College London and then took steps towards starting his own business. Under his leadership the Hinduja Group acquired Gulf Oil in 1984 and just three years later also acquired Ashok Leyland. Gopichand currently resides in London while his younger brother Prakash lives in Monaco and the youngest brother Ashok stays in Mumbai overseeing Indian businesses.
The Hinduja family had to go through a rough phase when a dispute over property among the Hinduja brothers started.

The brothers agreed to halt the lawsuits ongoing across Europe and deemed it appropriate to work together.
