Lalitaji was born to Shrimati Shanti & Sri Bhojraj Menda on November 1, 1932, and was married at the age of 16 to the dynamic Shri Girdhar P. Hinduja, son of the legendary Shrimati Jamuna and Shri Parmanand D. Hinduja. Unfortunately, she was widowed at a young age of 30. Back in 1962 being a widow in India was considered a full stop to Life! Every aspect of life would come to a halt; more so socially. It was her father-in-law, Shri P. D. Hinduja, who liberated her away from social bondages. It was then at that time and age that the true Lalita emerged as Lalita Girdhar Hinduja. A personal tragedy was transformed into a flame of service.
She not only dedicated herself to serve the patients but also created an ambience and culture of a family unit at the hospital by being a mother figure to all employees, doctors and other medical staff.
There was not a day when Lalitaji did not go on her rounds to comfort the patients with her graceful smile and loving eyes. Just her presence made a lot of difference.
It was with her blessings that the P. D. Hinduja Hospital Parivar was created. She infused a precious value system and helped understand the true meaning of "Selfless Service" and translated our founder Shri. P. D. Hinduja's dream "QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR ALL" into a reality.

Smt. Lalitaji’s labour of love blooms even today. Her unfailing trust in each one of us has inspired us to follow her exemplary example, to give sincerely of ourselves and to serve with a loving heart. Today the shell has disappeared leaving behind a pearl - The P. D. Hinduja Hospital Parivar to be cherished and rejoiced. That's our Lalitaji, THE MOTHER OF PEARL!
Thanks to our torchbearer, Lalitaji, each one of us has embedded within us the five principles of our founder.
Making her pathway in the healthcare service at the P. D. Hinduja Hospital & Medical Research Centre, (HNH); a shy, timid daughter-in-law and a doted upon sister-in-law, had taken her first step to serve mankind. Who would have imagined these little footsteps were to leave footprints in the shifting sands of time.
