Khambatta was also the former Chairman of WAPIZ (World Alliance of Parsi Irani Zarthostis). He was the past President of Ahmedabad Parsi Panchayat, Vice President of the Federation of Parsi Zoroastrian Anjumans of India.

In addition, Khambatta contributed immensely to Indian industry, business and most importantly societal development through social service, as the Commandant of Ahmedabad Home Guards & Civil Defence for 20 years.

He was awarded the President of India’s Home Guard and Civil Defence Medal as well as the Paschimi Star, Samarseva and Sangram Medals. He was honoured with the National Citizen’s Award for outstanding contribution in the field of Commerce by the President of India, Honorable Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma.
