The J. K. Organisation is an Indian industrial conglomerate, with headquarters in Delhi, Kanpur and Mumbai. It is run by the Singhania family, which rose to prominence in Kanpur, India, under Lala Kamlapat Singhania. The name JK is derived from the initials of Kamlapat and his father Seth Juggilal (1857–1922), who belonged to the family associated with the Marwari firm Sevaram Ramrikhdas of Mirzapur.[1] The JK Group was founded in 1918.[2]
