It was the fourth Baronet who came to be viewed as the leader of the Parsi community throughout the world. He was a well-known Bombay businessman, and in 1902 was chosen to represent the city at the Coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra.[2]
On Jejeebhoy's death, his title was inherited by his eldest son, Rustomjee.
