Wadia family
（重定向自Wadia）
The Wadia family is a family originally based in Surat, subsequently shifted to Mumbai. The family is related to the Jinnah family, through Dina Jinnah, the daughter of Muhammad Ali Jinnah who himself is the founder of Pakistan.
Lovji Nusserwanjee Wadia began the Wadia shipbuilding dynasty in 1736, when he obtained a contract from the British East India Company for building docks and ships in Bombay (present-day Mumbai). Although the Wadia's would eventually come to be considered a Bombay family, many of them remained in Surat, where one branch of the family established a ship breaking yard (where ships are dismantled) that remains one of the largest of its kind in the world.
