Shudh Parkash Singh
From a small town in Abohar, Punjab to building a diversified corporate group across America — the story of Shudh Parkash Singh
EARLY YEARS
Roots in Abohar
Shudh Parkash Singh was born and raised in the small town of Abohar, Punjab. Known from an early age for his outgoing personality and natural leadership, he was popularly elected President of the Students Council at what is now Chandigarh College of Engineering. Although his academic path did not always follow conventional expectations, he remained confident in his abilities and determined to build a successful future — an early reflection of the ambition and resilience that would later define his entrepreneurial journey.
THE MOVE TO AMERICA
Pursuing the American Dream
As a young man, Shudh Parkash Singh left his hometown in Punjab and came to the United States in pursuit of greater opportunity. Leaving his family behind marked a significant turning point in his life and the beginning of a new chapter shaped by ambition, perseverance, and an entrepreneurial spirit. His move to America would ultimately lay the foundation for the businesses and investments he would go on to build.
BUILDING JGROUP
The Entrepreneurial Foundation of JGroup

What began with small ventures gradually expanded into the development of numerous businesses and investments across real estate, hospitality, retail, and other commercial sectors.

PUBLIC LEADERSHIP
Serving the Community
Shudh was the first and only Indian American ever accorded an hour-long summit meeting with the Honorable Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, and National Security Advisor of India together in New York. In 2004, he created the "Chalo Punjab" slogan, motivating NRIs to campaign in Punjab — the first time in history a plane load of NRIs went to India to campaign.
THE KSJ FOUNDATION
Giving Back
He founded the Kundan & Santosh Jasuja Foundation, named after his respected parents and entirely self-funded. The Foundation serves fresh meals to the homeless in New York, funds scholarships for underprivileged students in India, and inaugurated the Mata Santosh Free Medical Dispensary in Abohar, which has treated more than 10,000 patients. The Foundation does not accept funds from anyone.
