Mr. Nirmal Jain

Group Chairman
 

Mr. Nirmal Jain is the founder and Chairman of IIFL Holdings Limited. He is a PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) from IIM (Indian Institute of Management) Ahmedabad, a Chartered Accountant and a rank-holder Cost Accountant. His professional track record is equally outstanding.

He started his career in 1989 with Hindustan Lever Limited, the Indian arm of Unilever. During his stint with Hindustan Lever, he handled a variety of responsibilities, including export and trading in agro-commodities.

He contributed immensely towards the rapid and profitable growth of Hindustan Lever's commodity export business, which was then the nation's as well as the Company's top priority.

 

He founded Probity Research and Services Pvt. Ltd. (later re-christened India Infoline) in 1995; perhaps the first independent equity research Company in India. His work set new standards for equity research in India.

Mr. Jain was one of the first entrepreneurs in India to seize the internet opportunity, with the launch of www.indiainfoline.com in 1999. Under his leadership, IIFL Holdings not only steered through the dotcom bust and one of the worst stock market downtrends but also grew from strength to strength.
