Mr. Niranjan Hiranandani
 

 
Mr. Niranjan Hiranandani completed his schooling from Campion School, Mumbai and graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Hons) from Sydenham College, with a distinction of standing second in Mumbai University. Adding to his professional qualification, he completed his F.C.A. from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
 
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
He is the son of eminent ENT surgeon and Padma Bushan recipient Dr. LH Hiranandani. From his early beginnings of teaching chartered accountancy, Mr. Niranjan began his initial business by venturing into textiles with a weaving unit at Charkop in Kandivali in 1981. His first spark of recognition in the construction line came with their work in Versova, Andheri in the mid-eighties. Since then, the Hiranandani Group has come a long way to be recognized countrywide for their modern and state-of-the-art mix-user township projects in Powai and Thane, both of which have become preferred residential-commercial locations in and around Mumbai. They call him builder extraordinaire and the man responsible for changing the Mumbai skyline.

Leadership, brilliance, untiring zest for excellence and down-to-earth are words that come to mind when one comes face-to-face with Mr.Niranjan. The phrase ‘labore et constantia’(with consistent efforts, one can scale great heights) sums up his success story.

Mr. Niranjan is actively associated with and holds key positions in various Government bodies, private and social institutions, schools, and colleges. Continuing to serve the society in the best possible manner, the Group has forayed into the Healthcare sector with the 137 bedded Dr. LH Hiranandani Multi Speciality Hospital at Powai, Mumbai. He calls it his “building of passion”. The Hiranandani Group has gone international with 23 Marina – a 380m high 90 storied neo-lifestyle residential tower coming up in the upscale Marina region of Dubai. Due for completion in 2008, 23 Marina is tipped to be the world’s tallest residential tower.
