| The Hinduja brothers celebrated victory in New Delhi’s high court last year when they were cleared of accepting kickbacks from the Swedish arms firm Bofors to clinch a £750m deal to sell field guns to the Indian army in 1986. Subsequently many doors are opening and they have gone into insurance and real estate, developing hundreds of acres of land in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Madras and Bombay. London-based Sri, 70, and Gopi, 66, above, are two of four brothers (the others are in Europe and India). They inherited a business empire from their late father that embraces oil, banking, telecommunications and trucking in India, Europe and the Middle East. The Hindujas are worth about £3.6 billion. |
