Indian-origin CEO who bought his first apartment at age 12 is Singapore's youngest billionaire

Kishin RK was born with the proverbial silver spoon. The sole heir to Indian-origin real estate tycoon Raj Kumar Hiranandani, he is Singapore's youngest billionaire with $1.6 billion to his name. But the 42-year-old founder and CEO of RB Capital Group has not relied on his family name alone - he has drawn on his immense privilege to carve his own path to success. According to a report in SCMP, when he was 18, Kishin sold an apartment given to him by his parents. He then used the funds from this sale to start RB Capital Group. Kishin is one of just six Singaporeans on Forbes' 2025 billionaire list who are under the age of 50. He is the only one to have inherited his wealth, according to a VN Express report. Kishin is the son of Raj Kumar Hiranandani, a prominent real estate mogul and co-founder of Royal Holdings. Together, they are among Singapore's leading landlords, managing a property empire worth billions. A powerful father-and-son team in Singapore's real estate scene, Raj runs Royal Holdings, while Kishin started his own company, RB Capital, in 2006. In 2011, Raj and his brother Asok split their property business, and since then, Raj has been focused on building his own empire, reported Forbes. Born Kishin Hiranandani in 1983, Kishin RK was introduced to the world of real estate early on. In an 2021 interview with Tatler, he revealed that he bought his first apartment when he was just 12 years old. He was guided, of course, by his father. But the exercise of purchasing an apartment gave Kishin valuable insights into the world of real estate. Around the same time, he began accompanying his father to important business meetings. 'I realised that my interest was actually real estate. There was no need to do anything else,' he told Tatler Asia. 'I was really getting to understand the ins and outs of not just the family business, but the larger landscape of real estate and how it worked as an industry. And I wanted to go deeper.' Unlike his family business of acquiring properties, RB Capital also focuses on real estate development.

Trump tariff hike threatens to impact $5 billion engineering goods exports: EEPC India

New Delhi: The proposed 50% tariff on all foreign steel and aluminium by US President Donald Trump could hurt India's engineering exports, as these metals and their derivatives account for nearly a quarter of the country's total engineering goods shipments to the US. The annual export of steel, aluminium and their derivatives to the US currently stand at around $5 billion. The 25% tariffs imposed by the US on steel imports (as per the proclamation order dated on 18th March 2025) have created a challenging environment for Indian steel exporters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo Although India's direct steel exports to the US are relatively low, the tariffs have led to increased global competition and price pressures. The tariffs have also resulted in a shift in trade flows. 'In case the US goes ahead with its plan and impose a 50% tariff on steel, aluminium and their derivatives, exports of these key items will become costlier leading to a likely dip in shipments," said Pankaj Chadha, Chairman, EEPC India, in a statement. Live Events Chadha highlighted that the UK through its trade deal with the US recently got exemptions from 25% tariff on steel and aluminium and suggested that India should also ask for the same kind of waiver during the ongoing bilateral trade agreement (BTA) negotiations with the US. "This is perhaps not the opportune time to introduce such unilateral tariff especially when BTA negotiations are going on. It can make the work of the negotiators tricky. The proposed tariff increase by the Trump administration is likely to impact the engineering exports which are about $5 billion under this head," the EEPC India Chairman said.
