Dhiren was highly regarded in the tax world, and was often invited to speak alongside other industry leading tax professionals.
Intellectually curious, adventurous and selfless.
From humble beginnings in Moshi, at sixteen Dhiren moved to the UK alone. He went on to scale great heights in his career, which took him to all corners of the globe. He was highly regarded by all those he met.
His positive, “can do” attitude and mental resilience are inspirational qualities – even in his 60s, he pushed himself beyond any physical limitations to ascend both Mt. Kilimanjaro and Everest Base Camp.
His desire to help others was illustrated by various charitable endeavours – as Treasurer for Oshwal (2018-2020) and former Treasurer of Shishukunj (1997 – 2000).
