Ahmed Ajum Piperdy (circa 1870 – circa 1931[1]) was an Indo-Mauritian businessman and politician and a member of the Surat diaspora in Mauritius during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Rander, near Surat, Bombay Presidency, India[2],[3][1] Ahmed was the eldest son of Ajum Goolam Hossen.[4] His contributions spanned both business and civic affairs.
Business[edit]
Ahmed's association with his father's trade company, Ajum Goolam Hossen & Co.[5], began in 1891 and lasted until the company's dissolution in 1901.[3][1]
Politics[edit]
In 1883, Ahmed first arrived in Mauritius,[3] setting the stage for a life dedicated to community service and civic engagement. He became a member of the Municipal Council of Port Louis[5], representing Ward 2, from 1909[2] to approximately 1915.[3] Ahmed and his brother were the first councillors of Mauritius, succeeding Dr. Hassen Sakir, who was elected in 1900.[6]
Family[edit]
Ahmed's brother, Cassim Ajum Piperdy, born in Mauritius, and in the same local administration as Ahmed, also contributed to the civic life of Port Louis as a member of the Municipal Council before venturing to Bombay with their father for business pursuits.[3]
Legacy[edit]
Ahmed Ajum Piperdy died in 1932 in Port Louis, Mauritius[1].
