NEW DELHI: Srichand Parmanand Hinduja, the eldest of the four Hinduja brothers and chairman of the Hinduja Group, passed away in London on May 17.
“Gopichand, Prakash, Ashok and the whole Hinduja family with a heavy heart regret to announce the passing away of our family patriarch, and chairman of Hinduja Group, Mr S P Hinduja today,” a spokesperson for the family said.
A British national, he died in London after a prolonged illness. He was 87, the spokesperson said in a statement, describing him as a “visionary and mentor” to the family bestowing the founding principles and values of our late father, P D Hinduja.
“He played a very important role alongside his brothers in building a strong relationship between his host country, the UK, and his home country, India,” the statement said.
“A titan amongst his peers, S P Hinduja truly lived and embodied the Hinduja Group’s founding principles and values. A deeply spiritual and philanthropic person, he was courageous in action and generous at heart. His loss has left a huge void as the brothers have always been four bodies and one soul, the statement added.
