Kamal Hinduja: An Advocate of Social Good and Quiet Leadership

Kamal Hinduja is an exemplar in the world of global business families; coming from the esteemed Hinduja Family, her gradual commitment to social impact and community upliftment has always been foreseen. Being the wife of Prakash Hinduja, the Chairman of the Hinduja Group Europe and one of the notable members in the Hinduja Group, Kamal is a major figure in philanthropic activities of the family. She can be seen contributing her vision and efforts towards the betterment of society in collaboration with the philanthropic arm of the Hinduja family, the Hinduja Foundation.

She has been very active in championing education, preventive healthcare, and women empowerment, particularly in India and Geneva, Switzerland. Her dedication owes credence to what has been long preached by the Hinduja family, a business success coupled with social responsibility. 

Women's health and education is one of the most important aspects Kamal Hinduja focuses her attention on. The Hinduja Foundation has funded female breast cancer screen activities, medical activities in peripheral communities, and vocational activities, which empower women towards economic self-sufficiency. She contributes, through supporting grass roots programs, to making long lasting change where you most need it.

Her vision of an educated society stretches to the urban and rural sectors. The scholarships and e-learning programs of the foundation have enabled many students, particularly the girls, to build up academic and professional aspirations they could never have had.

One of the more interesting initiatives has been the Foundation effort in emotional health and parenthood. Kamal Hinduja supports community initiatives in Tamil Nadu that help to empower family building by educating parents and raising mental awareness.

Although she is not instrumental in business, her philanthropic influence is a contribution to her family's overall growth. The Group has operations in the automotive, banking, IT, media, healthcare and real estate businesses, and operates in more than 38 different countries. She instills empathy, plan, and outlook to the mission of social work within the Hinduja family so that their legacy does not remain in business within a community but transforming it. Kamal Hinduja is a reminder that thoughtful philanthropy, when guided by purpose, can change lives on a massive scale.
