About the India JJP

Tulsyan’s is a 150 years old business house working from a small town of Daltonganj, now known as Medininagar in Palamau district in the State of Jharkhand, INDIA. In 1942, while India was still under the reign of British empire and the fight for attaining freedom, Late Ram Niranjan Prasad Tulsyan ji, started a business in the name and style of M/s Jagannath Jwala Prasad (JJP), mostly dealing in commodities like oilseeds, lac and its products, gum, resin etc. Senior Mr. Tulsyan, known to the entire town as Babuji had a very small business set-up, as the major part of his heart and mind was occupied with the freedom struggle. He was always more of a social figure than an accomplished businessman. Later in the year 1968, his son, Shri Pramod Kumar Tulsyan (known to everyone by his alias “Nawal ji”), stepped up and took the reign of business in his own hand. Having tested his hands in different enterprises including a mustard oil mill and a lac factory, Nawal ji saw a huge potential in this wealth of minor forest produces commonly found in and around his native place, i.e. Palamau circle.

Anupam, elder son of Nawal ji,  joined the family business in the year 1997 to fuel the growth of the firm. The father-son duo continued to explore minor forest produces, find their useful properties and create market for such products. They not only discovered market for the MFPs found in and around Palamau, but also found MFPs that were being traded in other states. JJP was first to started trading Chakwar (Cassia Tora) in the area.
