In this edition of Mumbaiyile Malayali Prathibhakal, we are proud to present Alexander Prince Vaidyan, a successful businessman, philanthropist and social worker whose life reflects a strong commitment to social welfare and service. Featured as the Cover Story in the Kerala in Mumbai August 2012 issue under the title “Prince Who Plans Social Welfare,” Prince Vaidyan’s journey combines entrepreneurship, public life, cinema and a deep concern for the less privileged.
Born in Lucknow, Prince Vaidyan built a successful business career after coming to Mumbai in 1979. Beginning his professional journey in Mumbai, he eventually became associated with a group of business ventures spanning recruitment, infrastructure project finance, construction, hospitality and real estate. Among the enterprises mentioned in the article are World Consultancy Services Ltd, involved in infra-project finance, and Venus Real Estate at Chennai. His business activities later expanded into areas including Saudi Arabia, with the article highlighting the growth of his entrepreneurial ventures.
Alongside his business achievements, Prince Vaidyan has maintained a strong interest in social welfare and community development. Inspired by his family background and his own experiences, he has expressed a desire to devote his resources and time towards helping the less privileged. The article highlights his ambitious plans to raise ₹100 crores for social welfare projects. He was also a co-founder of the K & K (Kashmir to Kerala) Social Foundation, envisioned as an initiative connecting people across different parts of the country and working towards social development.
Prince Vaidyan’s public life has brought him into contact with several prominent personalities and leaders. The article recalls his associations with figures including Dr. Farooq Abdullah, Sanjay Gandhi, Giani Zail Singh and Sheikh Saud, among others. He has also maintained close relationships with political and social leaders across different sections of society. His emphasis on cordial relations and social harmony is reflected in his interactions with people from diverse backgrounds and communities.
His interests have also extended beyond business and social service into cinema and the arts. The magazine features photographs of Prince Vaidyan appearing in various roles in movies, as well as images from his associations with personalities from the film world. The article also mentions his involvement in organising events and maintaining connections with people across different fields. His varied interests and activities demonstrate a personality that has moved comfortably between business, public life, entertainment and social engagement.
Family remains an important part of Prince Vaidyan’s life. The article features him with his family and notes the support of his wife Hiranandani, along with his children. It also highlights his connections with Kerala and his involvement in activities benefiting the community. His home and professional life appear closely connected with his broader commitment to service, while his business experience has provided him with a platform to pursue his social ambitions.
We hope this regular feature will continue to serve as a meaningful platform to acknowledge and celebrate the remarkable Malayalees of Mumbai whose professional achievements, social commitment, community involvement and dedication to public welfare have enriched the city and its people. Prince Vaidyan’s story, as featured in the August 2012 issue of Kerala in Mumbai, is an example of a businessman who sought to use his success and influence towards social welfare and helping those in need.
