Param Pujya Mr. Bhikhubhai Saraiya was born in Jaipur, India in 1934 to Manilal and Kashiben Saraiya. In 1956, he earned his Master's degree in Chemistry and thereafter worked as a Senior Analytical Chemist with E.R. Squibb & Sons LLC subsidiary for almost three decades. While he was busy raising his family, he also held multiple community positions. He was most proud of his leadership roles in Gujarat Samaj in Vadodara, India. He also took great pride in helping others in need of help, family/friends/strangers alike.

He emigrated to USA in 1978 with minimal means and worked arduously as a Senior Analytical Chemist at PAR pharmaceuticals to support and mentor his Children.

He deeply cherished every moment spent with family and friends. He retired from work in 2005 at the age of 71.

After retirement, he continued to mentor and inspire loved ones. He began a passion for finance and investing which he cherished until the very last moment.
