Ravindra Kishore Sinha, also known as RK Sinha (22 September 1951) is an Indian billionaire businessman, politician and journalist.[1] He is the founder of Security and Intelligence Services, a private security solutions provider in India and Australia.[2][3][4]

Sinha is a graduate of Political Science and Law and started his career as a journalist. He created Security and Intelligence Services to help retired servicemen after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.[5]

Sinha was elected to the Rajya Sabha to represent Bihar State by the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) as a Member of Parliament in the Indian Upper House in 2014.[6][7]

In November 2017, an investigation conducted by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalism cited his name in the list of politicians named in "Paradise Papers" allegations.[8] This reference did not appear to contain anything other than legal dealings.[9][10]
