Gopichand P Hinduja, chairman of globe-spanning Hinduja Group, died in London at the age of 85, sources close to his family said.
Fondly known as ‘GP’ in business circles, Gopichand P. Hinduja was unwell for past few weeks and died in a London hospital, they said.
Gopichand, who belonged to the second generation of the Hinduja family, took over as chairman following the death of his elder brother Srichand in May 2023.
He is survived by his wife, Sunita, sons Sanjay and Dheeraj, and daughter, Rita.
He was truly a well-wisher of the community and a guiding force, and his death marks the end of an era, a close associate of the British Indian industrialist said on Tuesday.
“With a heavy heart, I share with you the tragic loss of our beloved friend, Mr GP Hinduja, who has departed for his heavenly abode,” said Lord Rami Ranger, a close associate of the industrialist.
For over seven decades, you built, guided, & inspired us, shaping generations with your wisdom, humility, and unwavering faith in purpose.
You showed us that “Next to Impossible is Possible,” & that belief will continue to guide us in every step we take and the future we build. pic.twitter.com/bo5pDJYMXq

“He was one of the most gracious, humble, and loyal friends. His passing marks the end of an era, as he was truly a well-wisher of the community and a guiding force,” he said.
G P Hinduja had been a regular feature in the annual ‘Sunday Times Rich List’, with the Hinduja Group topping this year’s tally for the fourth consecutive year with an estimated fortune of GBP 35.3 billion.
