Kushal Pal Singh (born 15 August 1931) is an Indian billionaire real estate developer and retired military officer.[3][4] Singh was the chairman and chief executive officer of the Indian real estate company DLF, founded by his father-in-law Chaudhary Raghvendra Singh, until 2020.[3][5] Singh built DLF into the largest real estate company in India and DLF holds India's largest land bank of more than 10,000 acres.[6][7] His autobiography, named Whatever the Odds: The Incredible Story Behind DLF, was published in 2011; Jack Welch spoke at the launch.[8]
Singh has been noted for making Gurgaon, Haryana, from a village into a modern and developed city.[9][10] Singh has also been noted for his relationship with the Nehru-Gandhi political family, which, according to him, benefited his businesses especially during its early stages, and has also been a source of controversy during his career.[9][11][12] In October 2024, Singh was ranked 12th on the Forbes list of India's 100 richest, with a net worth of $20.5 billion.[13]
