Born on July 31, 1912 in Inhambane, Mtamba, Mozambique, Mr. Rupani sailed to India in 1923 “to acquire education”. He was one of several children, including siblings and a number of orphans from Mozambique, whom his father, Late Juma Premji Rupani, intended to enroll in academic institutions. Their arrival in Mumbai (Bombay), coincided with festivities in Rajkot for the visit of ‘Hazar Imam’, His Highness The Aga Khan III Sir Sultan Mohamed Shah, Spiritual Leader of Ismaili community.
