No. Hinduism had no founder, it was developed out of Brahminism. A 'founder' of a religion would be a certain 'entity / deity' that they would 'worship'. (Christians have Jesus, Islam was founded by Hajrat Mohammad Paigambar, Buddhism by Gautam Buddha.) Hinduism is a culture that flourished in India, and later took the form of great religion.
