Raja Daswani is an Indian born and raised in Hong Kong. Translated homophonically into Chinese, his name means “emperor”, portraying his extraordinary life in Hong Kong.

In the early 1950s, Raja’s father and grandfather emigrated from India and opened a tailor shop in Tsim Sha Tsui. With their business sense and fluent English, the business went on track. At the age of 18, Raja started to take care of the tailor shop and later invested in properties, walking through storms over the years. This Indian emperor built his own tailoring empire in Hong Kong. Is this the success of the natural business acumen of the Indians, or a reward of his hard work and persistence?

Despite his Indian descent, Raja regards himself a Hongkonger. Always grateful for what he has, he thinks he has a responsibility to give back to the people in Hong Kong. He set up Feed Hong Kong, a non-governmental organization, in 2020, giving out meals and daily supplies to local underprivileged groups. He is determined to contributing both his money and efforts for a good cause.
