Brief History of the Currimbhoy Ebrahim Baronetcy


The Ebrahim Baronetcy, of Pabaney Villa, of the City of Bombay, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 20 July 1910 for the Indian businessman and philanthropist Sir Currimbhoy Ebrahim.[1]

Each baronet assumes on succession the name of the first Baronet. 


Currimbhoy was knighted during the Prince and Princess of Wales's Indian tour of 1905[7] and created a baronet in 1910[8] and further granted lands to support that dignity by the Currimbhoy Ebrahim Baronetcy Act 1913[9] following the precedent set by the Cowasji Jehangir Baronetcy Act. Between 1947 and 1949, due to the partition of India, this descendants, namely the third and fourth baronets migrated to Pakistan. The Currimbhoy Ebrahim Khoja Orphanage trust started by him, continue to own large pieces of land in and around Mumbai,[10] including the Currimbhoy manor (Bhulabhai Desai road, Mumbai) and the Poona bungalow (Pune).[11] [12] An orphanage Currimbhoy Ebrahim Khoja Yateemkhana, on Altamount road, Mumbai started by him in 1895 and run by the trust, was sold to Mukesh Ambani in 2002 for the building of a 27 storied residence for the Ambani family, called Antilia.[13]


The trust is Chaired by Tabrik Currimbhoy and to be succeeded by Sharik Currimbhoy Ebrahim , as only Indian citizens may control the trust as per the laws of India. 

In addition, Sharik Currimbhoy Ebrahim is the sole heir to the Currimbhoy Ebrahim Khoja Trust as well as the Shahnaz Husain Cosmetics empire, which has been valued at over two and half billion dollars. Much of the value is from real estate Shahanaz Husain and family have bought over the last 40 years from the income of the cosmetics company and other activities.
