Founding Story
Kailashpat Singhania acquired the Raymond Woollen Mill in 1944. As a massive patriarch of the powerful JK Organization (a sprawling Indian conglomerate), he completely revolutionized the mill. He ruthlessly upgraded the machinery, pivoting away from cheap blankets to focus absolutely entirely on manufacturing premium, high-quality worsted suiting fabrics for the Indian elite. (Exact birth year remains publicly undisclosed).
