Description

The billionaire entrepreneur was sent to England at the age of 13 after getting into trouble in his native India.

His family shared a house and his mother worked two jobs - something he said instilled in him the work ethic that led him to found his own hospitality businesses.

An interest in air travel led him to London's Heathrow Airport, the 4th largest airport in the world. But it was on the ground, in the hotel industry, that he made his fortune, with the Arora Group.

We hear Surinder Arora's story, and his proposals for an alternative way to expand Heathrow's capacity.
