Wise Investment

One of the advantages of foreign investment is that it helps in the economic progress of the country where the investment is being made. Cyrus Vandrevala is one of the people responsible for the recent financial and culture contribution in what it appears to be the New Mumbai; England.

Wealthy Indians are steadily buying top-end residential property in London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. Billionaire Cyrus Vandrevala, an equity investor, was one of only two people to buy a £10m-plus London property in December last year as the recession hurt ultra-high net worth buyers. Vandrevala, who is married to the heiress of construction company Hirco, Priya Hiranandani, comes from one of India’s wealthiest families. He bought a Holland Park mansion before Christmas for around £22m. His investments have contributed to the rise in the UK housing market. Hopefully these types of financial contributions will lead to return in economic growth.

Celebrating!

Last Bank Holiday “the elephant parade” hit the streets of London. The Elephant Family is the largest elephant charity in the World to raise funds for the conservation of Asian elephant. This year the parade was brought to London by trustees and patrons like Priya and Cyrus Vandrevala, founders of The Vandrevala Foundation; a charitable social enterprise focused on making a sustainable difference for those in need.
The parade was launched in Trafalgar Square and sees over 250 brightly painted life-size elephants located over central London this summer, each decorated by a different artist or celebrity.
The elephants will brighten and beautify the city in every park, street corner and building from May to July 2010. This is said to be London’s biggest outdoor art event on record.

Cyrus Vandrevala

Billionaire Cyrus Vandrevala, an equity investor, was one of only two people to buy a £10m-plus London property in December last year as the recession hurt ultra-high net worth buyers. Vandrevala, who is married to the heiress of construction company Hirco, Priya Hiranandani, comes from one of India's wealthiest families. He bought a Holland Park mansion before Christmas for around £22m. He states; “The wealthy Indian community are not highly leveraged and are therefore in a perfect position to buy property at a hugely discounted rate. I am aware of other wealthy Indians looking to buy in London at this current time”. But this is not the only remarkable contribution Indian people have done to the various aspects of London. They've made a huge contribution to business, cinema, health, found raising, etc. This is England´s new elite; The Bollygarchs.
