Hemant Kanoria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hemant Kanoria is an Indian businessman.

He ran two family-owned flour mills in West Bengal. When the family exited the business, he started a financing company for the construction sector with his younger brother, Sunil Kanoria, which grew into Srei Infrastructure Finance Limited.[1][2]

Through Srei, he started Sahaj e-village to establish a network of Common Service Centres to enable people in rural areas access government services.[3]

By 2017 after accumulated losses, Srei was looking to divest its interests in Sahaj e-Village and other businesses.[4] In October 2021, the Reserve Bank of India removed Kanoria from the boards of Srei finance companies, citing governance concerns and delays in interest payments for board supersession.[1]
