Ramchand Udharam Mohinani, the Founder and Chairman of the leading third-generation family-owned business, Mohinani Group, has passed away in Accra, Ghana.
The unfortunate incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday, 12 th June, after a brief illness. He was 87 years old.
The highly regarded industrialist was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Ghana in 2016 for his achievements in industry.
The University’s decision to honour Mr Mohinani was in recognition of his hard work in establishing and managing several successful businesses and his contribution to the country's economy.
Ram Mohinani came to Accra from India as a teenager and, after over a decade of working for various companies in Accra, started what was to become the Mohinani Group with a single factory in 1966.
His business acumen has been described by family, friends, former and current employees and business associates as legendary.
He was a mentor, a visionary and an inspiration to many people in the Ghanaian business community and abroad.
Ram was a religious man who also believed strongly in social service. He contributed generously to
various organisations in the health and educational sectors in Ghana.
Ram Mohinani’s legacy will be carried forward by his beloved wife Sheela, his three sons and daughters-
in-law and seven grandchildren.
