Sir Edward Charles Kayll Ollivant KCIE (1846–1915) was a senior member of the Indian Civil Service. He had notable interactions with both Mahatma Gandhi and Muhammed Ali Jinnah. Ollivant arrived in India in 1881. In 1892, he had a disagreement in Rajkot with Gandhi, who was then a young barrister. The incident resulted in Gandhi being pushed out of a room, and ill feelings about this dispute were apparently a factor in Gandhi's departure for South Africa in 1893. Ollivant also offered to hire Muhammed Ali Jinnah at 1,500 rupees per month, and was notably turned down.
