London: Leading NRI industrialist Lord Swraj Paul passed away in London on Thursday evening, family sources told the media. He was 94.
Lord Paul, founder of the UK-based Caparo Group of industries, had been taken ill and hospitalised recently, where he passed away surrounded by members of his family.
The House of Lords peer was born in Jalandhar and relocated to the UK in the 1960s in pursuit of treatment for his little daughter Ambika’s cancer.
After she passed away aged four years old, he set up the Ambika Paul Foundation as a charitable trust that went on to donate millions to promote the well-being of children and young people all over the world through education and health initiatives.
After he lost his son Angad Paul in 2015 and his wife Aruna in 2022, he went on to undertake similar philanthropic endeavors in their memory.
