Meet the Indian billionaire family with 3 Rolls Royce Phantoms: One for dad, & two for kids

Rolls Royce is considered as the pinnacle of luxury cars. While there are many who want to own the Rolls Royce and have made it their life goal, there are a few people who own more than one model of the British luxury car. We all know about the Indian in the UK who owns several Rolls Royce cars and matches his turbans with the colour of the vehicle. Well, here is another family from Kerala, India who own three Rolls Royce in three different colours.

The three Rolls Royce cars we are talking about belongs to T.S. Kalyanaraman and his sons Ramesh and Rajesh. All three of them are part of the famed Kalyan Jewellers who have stores across India and in many foreign countries too. The jewellers have retail chain concentrates in the Southern part of the country and is quite popular too. T.S Kalyanaraman started working at a tender age of 12 when he worked in his father’s textile shop to learn basics of business. Since then, the journey of Kalyan Jewellers has been emphatic and currently, they have a turnover of around Rs 8,500 crores.

All three Rolls Royces in the family is used regularly by different people. T.S. Kalyanaraman drives around in a Rolls Royce Phantom Series II, which is priced at close to Rs 10 crores, depending on the customisation and optional extras chosen by the customers. His car is a black one. His sons also drive around in their respective Phantom Series II luxury sedans. One of the cars are in silver and the other one is in white colour. There are several videos that show all three Rolls Royce cars parked in the garage together.

Apart from the Rolls Royce Phantoms, there are not many other luxury cars in the garage though. Most of the times, they use the Rolls Royce to go around the town. However, T.S. Kalyanaraman also uses a Volkswagen Touareg, an SUV that is not available in the Indian market anymore. He also owns a BMW 5-Series. Apart from these few cars, we could not find any more vehicles that belong to the trio. It is quite possible that the other vehicles are parked in a different place.

Cars are not the only high-end mobility solution that they own. The family also owns a private jet and a helicopter that they use to go around the country whenever required. They own the Legacy 650 business jet and a Bell 427 helicopter.

Three Rolls Royce in the same family is quite rare around the world. In India, this might be the rare instance of a family having three modern-generation Rolls Royce cars. Even the richest family in India – the Ambanis own a Rolls Royce Cullinan, a Rolls Royce Phantom DHC and a Rolls Royce Phantom VIII but they do not come out of the garage much.
