His background is a rare amalgam of royalty and entrepreneurship, of tradition and modernity. He has royal roots; his mother is a scion of the ruling family from the principality of Wankaner near Rajkot in the western Indian state of Gujarat. His father hails from an illustrious industrial family whose business background stretches back 130 years. His grandfather, Dharamsey Khatau, was one of the leading industrialists in post-independence India, and Yudhishthir himself is a graduate from the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania.
