Background
 
Naranjan R. Naidoo had the good fortune to be born into a well-established business family in South Africa. The K. C. Naidoo family's origins are in India, but the family immigrated to South Africa in the 1800s. The family name became widely known through its strong business network, but as apartheid polices caused political upheaval in South Africa, the family was forced to leave. They moved to the UK and while the family began rebuilding business and personal roots, Naranjan was sent to London to receive his education.
 
In 1978 Naranjan Naidoo, as the only son, took over the family's business due to the failing health of his father. He was unable to continue his studies but received strong support and guidance from the company's veteran employees.
