City Hindus Network (CHN) is a not-for-profit organisation created to promote networking, spirituality, education and charity amongst Hindu professionals. It was founded in 2005 by Dhruv Patel OBE, who was succeeded by entrepreneur Pratik Dattani.[1] Its current Chair is Alpesh Patel OBE, who was appointed in December 2019.[2] CHN is focused on building closer relationships between Hindu professionals working in the City of London.[3]
CHN's first major event was held by the then Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, for the British Hindu community, at City Hall in London.[4]
Since then, the CHN has organised networking events, talks on Hindu philosophy and spirituality, a mentoring scheme, charity and volunteering events for Hindu professionals, and taken part in community and government liaison on behalf of the Hindu community. Many of its events have been in conjunction with the accountancy and consulting firms and investment banks in London, alongside other Hindu community partners, such as Diwali in London, built relationships with the Metropolitan City Police[5] and charities such as Odanadi, Women in Need, Joshua Playing Project and London Community Transport.
CHN has also works closely with other faith networks including City Sikhs to organise the largest hustings events in London.[6] Recent collaboration events have included a quarterly DEI series in 2023 focusing on Women in Business and Technology. [7] [8]
