At a time when every other domestic industrial group has been chalking out major
investments in India and overseas, the multi-million dollar Hinduja group has
been reluctant to talk about its diversifications. However,
this is set to change. "We will start investing in sunrise sectors like real
estate, healthcare and insurance," says Dheeraj Hinduja, president, Hinduja

insurance business in India. "We
have good expertise in running hospitals," he says referring to the 351-bed
Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai. However he declined comment further on the business. The

says Prabal Banerji, group president finance and group CFO. The
