Vikram Sheth Obituary
January 30, 1949 – August 15, 2025
Vikram Jivanlal Sheth passed away on August 15, 2025, in Lithia, Florida, at the age of 76. His departure leaves a profound sense of loss among his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Vikram lived a life full of love, kindness and dedication to family and community.
Born in Mumbai, India, to Jivanlal Sheth and Jayalaxmi Bakhda, Vikram was shaped by the values of warmth, integrity, and compassion that his parents instilled in him. These guiding principles became the foundation upon which he built his life and relationships.
On May 23, 1978, Vikram married Rita Mehta in Mumbai, beginning a partnership marked by devotion, laughter, and shared dreams. Together, they created a home filled with love and support, nurturing their family and inspiring those around them.
A proud inventor of bindi, he was a visionary businessman and the founder of Beauty Spot bindi. His entrepreneurial journey was characterized by creativity, resilience, and a steadfast commitment to excellence. Colleagues and friends remember him not only for his business acumen but also for his kindness, leadership, and the encouragement he offered to others.
Vikram is survived by his beloved wife, Rita, and their children: Payal Parekh and her husband Pranay Parekh (India), Jatan Sheth, and his wife Vishva Sheth (USA). He was a devoted grandfather to Palak Parekh, Aashi Parekh, Krushan Sheth, and Eshan Sheth, each of whom brought him immense pride and joy. Vikram's deep bond with his siblings-Kishor Sheth (USA), Sudha Shah (USA), Bharati Sheth (India), Vijay Sheth (USA), Kadambari Kamdar (USA), and Chetna Shah (India)-was a source of strength and comfort throughout his life.
Those who knew Vikram will remember his quiet strength, unwavering family values, and boundless love. His presence was a guiding light, offering wisdom and comfort to all. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit and memory will continue to inspire and live on in the hearts of his loved ones.
Vikram Jivanlal Sheth's legacy is one of love, resilience, and the enduring bonds of family. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
