Sanjay Majhu

March 2005 saw Sanjay Majhu take over the ownership of Glasgow-based Harlequin Leisure Group, from Charan Gill, MBE, in an £8 million deal.

Sanjay's first shift in the Ashoka restaurant was in the summer of '82 when Charan and Gurmel were partners with Balbir and the Ashoka was fast taking market share from the long established Shish Mahal.

Sanjay had met Charan a few years earlier when his mum had forced him to go to learn Indian dancing and the teacher turned out to be Charan, who would turn out to be his most important role model. The two would go on in later years to sing together in Bombay Talkie, tour Malaysia , play T in the Park and gig in Ireland and all over UK .

After completing university in 1990, Sanjay decided to enter the restaurant business and convinced his mother and brother to back him. Newly married to Jiggy, he began working in his restaurant the day after coming back from his honeymoon.

The business only lasted five months but, within a year, Sanjay had cleared all of his debts and landed a job working in New Crest Palace in Hardgate where he would scrub pots double his size.

Sanjay officially joined Charan in business in 1994 as a 20% partner in the Spice of Life restaurant and, in the fall of 2001, asked Charan to sell him the Spice of Life. This led to Sanjay taking over ownership of Harlequin in March 2005.

In addition to assuming ownership of Harlequin Leisure Group, Sanjay Majhu's other business ventures include Starlighting Electrical Wholesale and the expanding Apple Pharmacy Group.
