Shri O.P. Jindal, the visionary Founder Chairman of the Jindal Group, was born on August 7, 1930, in Nalwa village, Hisar, Haryana. From humble beginnings, he rose to redefine India’s industrial landscape. In 1952, driven by a pivotal realization upon seeing imported "Made in England" pipes in Calcutta, he resolved to make India self-reliant in manufacturing. Despite limited formal education, his ingenuity led to the creation of a pipe-bending unit in Howrah, which laid the foundation for his industrial empire.
By 1964, Shri O.P Jindal had established Jindal India Limited, followed by Jindal Strips Limited in 1969, often developing innovative machinery indigenously. Shri O.P Jindal's passion for technology and hands-on problem-solving defined his journey, earning him the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Bengal Chamber of Commerce in 2004 for his contributions to the Indian steel industry.
