British Indian entrepreneur champions foundation for women in UK

Entrepreneur Nisha Paul is carrying forward the legacy of her father-in-law, NRI industrialist Lord Swraj Paul, of championing India-UK causes by highlighting the work of a British foundation supporting women in India.

Nisha Paul recently hosted a special gathering to spotlight the work of the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, which supports women in India and other parts of the world to sustain and grow successful businesses.

The event in London last week also marked a cross-generational connect with Cherie Blair, the wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has been associated with Lord Paul’s family for decades.

“Old family friendships often transcend age. I have known Cherie through my father-in-law, the late Lord Paul of Marylebone, since my young years,” shared Nisha Paul, Chair of the Caparo Group’s Ayatti development in Delhi. “I have watched her admirably break barriers and map her own route,” she said.
