About Us
At DLF, we take pride in our uncompromising integrity in customer engagement and quality assurance, and throughout our 75-year legacy, we have made it our core mission to provide real-estate development, management, and investment services of the highest calibre.
Founded in 1946 by Chaudhary Raghvendra Singh, DLF started with the creation of 22 urban colonies in Delhi. In 1985, the company expanded into the then-unknown region of Gurugram, creating exceptional living and working spaces for the new Indian global professionals. Today, DLF is the largest publicly listed real estate company in India, with residential, commercial, and retail properties in 15 states and 24 cities.
Our diverse verticals reflect our dedication to developing ecosystems for India’s changing needs. But our foundation has always been our employees, our customers, our stakeholders, and our shareholders. 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.
With more than 35 years of real estate expertise, Mr. Rajiv Singh plays a major role in DLF as the Chairman of the company. His leadership has helped DLF build a resilient business able to withstand market fluctuations. Thanks to his in-depth knowledge of the realty sector, he has driven DLF's annuity business from INR 15.5 million in 2007 to INR 29,000 million in 2019. Under his guidance, the company delivered over 10.4 mn sq m after going public in 2007.
A graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), U.S.A., Mr. Singh holds a degree in mechanical engineering. He has set new benchmarks in housing, infrastructure, and urban development in India and is widely recognised for his contribution to the economic development of Haryana.
His creation of world-class infrastructure has attracted significant foreign and domestic investment into the country as well as supported in generating employment opportunities in Haryana which has had a positive impact on Indian lifestyles and aspirations.
In December 2005, Mr. Singh was awarded The Udyog Ratna Award for Valuable Contributions to Economic Development of Haryana.
