LONDON: A leading Indian entrepreneur, Pralhad Chhabria, has been honoured at the prestigious Institute of Directors here with a silver platter in recognition of his contribution to "entrepreneurship".
Chairman of the UK-India Business Council Lord Karan Bilimoria presented the silver platter at a function organised to celebrate the launch of Chhabria's autobiography 'There's No Such Thing as Self-Made Man', a fascinating book depicting his rise from humble beginnings to Chairman of a leading Indian business enterprise.
About 220 dignitaries from the diplomatic, political and business community attended the function hosted by SriChand and Gopichand Hinduja, Chairman and President respectively of the Hinduja Group.
Prominent among those present were India's Acting High Commissioner Asoke Mukerji, Ambassadors of Thailand, Belgium and Egypt. Besides, some members of the House of Lords including Lord Bagri, Lord Brennan, Lord Hameed and Lord Marshall were present.
Launching the book, leading NRI Labour MP Keith Vaz said the success story enumerated by Chhabria was an example of the contribution being made by prominent Indian businesspeople around the world, including many NRIs based in the UK.
"He is an example to us all for how hard work, integrity and customer service will bring success," Vaz said.
Lord Bilimoria spoke about the vision of Chhabria that had created the Finolex Group from humble beginning into a leading industrial group.
"The importance of infrastructure development in India was identified by Chhabria well before most others," he said.
