Hiralal Parekh (1910 - 1982)
“A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.”
Our father, Late Hiralal Parekh, ‘Bapuji’ shaped our beliefs, values and attitudes. He lived by example and inspired us to instill in our own children the spirit to make their mark in the world.
Bapuji left behind a legacy of giving and a model for life that we all follow to this day. As children, he taught us that no matter how little we had, we must share it with those less fortunate and do what we can to improve the lives of those around us. Over the years, each member of our parivar has continued Bapuji’s legacy of giving back in their own way.
To his final breath, Bapuji epitomised working in service of community. To honour him, we formed the Hiralal Parekh Parivar Charity Trust.
