We invest in spearheading innovation through empowerment and optimism, in order to build the foundation of India’s future on the legacy of our past.
Chaudhary Raghvendra Singh founded DLF in 1946, in pre-independent India. A born businessman, he began his real estate career by transforming the urban landscape of Delhi's National Capital Region, providing millions of homes to families displaced by partition who settled in the capital.
Born on September 19, 1910 and originally a graduate of St. Stephen's College, Delhi, Chaudhary Saheb went on to join the Indian Army where he rose to the rank of Major and was decorated with an MBE for exemplary service.
A philanthropist at heart, Chaudhary Saheb is remembered not only for his innovations and entrepreneurial skills but also for his association, as Board Member, with various charitable trusts and educational institutions, his role in pioneering welfare reforms for ex-servicemen, and his humanitarian work. He is also considered to be the father of Delhi's first co-operative movement and the founder of the Indian real estate sector.
Chaudhary Saheb's sad demise in the early hours of June 13, 2000, marked the end of an era that began at the dawn of our country's freedom.
