An embodiment of Resilience, Enterprise and Generosity

The son of India, the god of charity Lord Swaraj Paul

NEW DELHI: LORD Swraj Paul, who famously called himself “100% Indian and 100% British”, passed away in London on August 21 at the age of 94. The life of the Indianborn British industrialist, philanthropist, and parliamentarian embodied resilience, enterprise and generosity.

Born in Jalandhar, Punjab, in 1931, Lord Paul’s early years were shaped by modest beginnings. After studying Mechanical Engineering at Punjab University, he pursued higher education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, earning advanced degrees that prepared him for a global career.

His journey to Britain in the mid1960s, originally to seek medical treatment for his young daughter Ambika, proved transformative. Following her untimely passing, he established the Ambika Paul Foundation, dedicated to children’s welfare and education, laying the foundation of his lifelong philanthropic legacy.

Global conglomerate

In 1968, Lord Paul founded the Caparo Group, a steel and engineering enterprise that grew into a multinational conglomerate with operations across Europe, North America, and Asia. Known for his sharp business acumen, he became a formidable presence in Britain’s industrial landscape, employing thousands and contributing significantly to manufacturing growth.

Lord Paul’s influence extended beyond boardrooms. His high-profile investment moves in Indian companies during the 1980s challenged the country’s corporate establishment and helped trigger debates on ownership, foreign investment, and economic liberalisation. Though controversial at the time, these moves left an indelible mark on India’s business history.

Strengthening ties

Elevated to the peerage in 1996 as Baron Paul of Marylebone, he went on to serve with distinction in the House of Lords, later becoming Deputy Speaker. A cross-bench peer and a member of the Privy Council, he was admired for his independence and his efforts to strengthen India-UK ties.

Philanthropy remained central to his life. His contributions enriched institutions, including the London Zoo, MIT, the University of Wolverhampton, and the University of Westminster. In recognition of his service to education and public life, he received numerous honours in both Britain and India. Tributes poured in from across the world, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi praising him as a “visionary whose contributions to industry, philanthropy and public service will be remembered with gratitude.”

Lord Swraj Paul is survived by his family, who carry forward his legacy. His passing marks the end of a remarkable chapter in the story of the Indian diaspora, but his life remains a testament to perseverance, generosity, and global citizenship
