At the time independent India’s first industrialists were redrawing the blueprint of commerce and industry, a farmer's son was hard at work redrawing the blueprint of his small business in Nalwa, a village in present-day Haryana. The enterprising young man was O.P. Jindal , Jindal Organization’s “Man of Destiny”.

Lacking the expertise to start a manufacturing unit, O.P. Jindal did the next best thing; he started trading in steel pipes. The early years were tough; and what saw him through was his vision and the determination to realize it.

By 1952, he was proficient and experienced enough to set up the group’s first factory at Liluah, near Calcutta for the manufacturing of steel pipes, bends and sockets. Soon thereafter, a similar manufacturing unit was set up at Hisar.

This period also saw the emergence of a professional culture. Jindal - the proprietorship was transformed into Jindal - the organization. In the early 60’s, Jindal R & D showed promise by developing India’s first 100% indigenous pipe mill, again at Hisar. This was a breakthrough, the first of many in the years to come. Jindal built up a reputation for ingenuity of product and product integrity.

In 1970 , he established Jindal Strips Limited and a mini steel plant set up at Hisar to manufacture coils and plates through the electric and furnace route.

The management of the company is now looked after by the four able sons of O.P. Jindal- P.R. Jindal, Sajjan Jindal, Ratan Jindal & Naveen Jindal and his grand daughter Sminu Jindal.
