Mr. Ashok Jain
Mr. Ashok Jain, the President is the backbone for Shingora. His
administrative skills have kept the fabric of Shingora's organization very
strong and enduring.

Jain by starting and running the organization since 1996. He started the
wool business with his brothers in the late 60's. He has worked his way up
from the shop floor level in a small family wool knitwear business to lead
and inspire the Shingora family.
Mrs. Mridula Jain
Less than two decades ago, Mrs. Jain, who is the managing director of the
Ludhiana-based Shingora Shawls, decided to start a new product line to add
to her husband's knitwear business. She is today considered among the top
shawl professionals in the country.

notice and received several prestigious awards. She was honored with the
Mahila Udyog Ratna in 1993, the Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award in
1994, and recognized by the state government in 1995 as Best Woman
Entrepreneur.

a member of various committees and advisory boards (both governmental and
non-governmental) responsible for the upgrade of the sector.
Mrs. Jain has not only fought the odds and become a very successful
business person but also has had very strong beliefs. Being a believer in
GOD she trusts her instincts and follows the not so smooth path of success
with a humble heart and a clear head.
Mr. Amit Jain
Mr. Amit Jain, the elder son, is main driving force for the exponential
growth and expansion of the company.
Being the director development Mr. Jain leads the research and development
effort of the company. With his foresight and expertise which Mr. Jain
acquired during his education in textiles and his love for traveling, he
brought into the company the latest design systems and machines in mid
nineties making Shingora one of the only companies in India to posses such
capabilities at the time.
When Mr. Jain joined the family business in 1996 the company was a
handloom-based manufacturer of shawls for the domestic industry with very
small percentage of exports. In 1997 Amit Jain setup a new facility with
mechanical looms. He pioneered the change to shuttle-less looms and
electronic jacquards in 1999. The enhanced capacities and qualities helped
shifting the marketing focus to marketing to exports. With a very clear
vision Mr. Jain set up a very modern plant and design facilities.
His clear view about our market and product gave Shingora an edge against
the competition in our market segment.
