Unusually for an NRI, he is also recipient of one of India's highest awards, the Padma Bhushan. By any yardstick his has been a career crammed with incident and achievement. Raised in Jalandhar, Punjab, where his father ran a small foundry making steel buckets and farming equipment, he went to the US to read mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A thriving business career in India, taken up on his return home, was unexpectedly diverted into a heartbreaking battle to save the life of his fourth child, Ambika. The search for a cure led him to London in 1966, and it was there, eventually, as he emerged from the trauma of her death, that he set up Caparo, today the largest family-owned business in Britain.\u003cbr\u003eIn his memoir, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBuilding My World\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Lord Paul recounts the high points of a life well lived.
