THE SCION OF a prominent New Delhi family, Jaisal Singh spent much of his childhood on trips to Ranthambore National Park, as his parents Malvika, a leading publisher and author, and Tejbir, a photographer and film-maker, were passionate conservationists. Having inherited their love of wildlife, Singh launched Suján in 2000, a hospitality business named for his great-great-grandfather who founded trading and real estate company Suján Enterprises in 1881.
His debut project, Suján Sher Bagh, on the edge of what is now Ranthambore National Park, was the first of three highly regarded luxury camps—which today he runs in partnership with his wife, Anjali, an artist and businesswoman—with a keen sense of style and sustainability at the core of their approach. Indeed, Singh’s recently concluded role as vicechairman of the board of hotel group Relais & Châteaux gave him a global platform for his advocacy of sustainable and regenerative tourism.
With several notable soldiers in his family tree, Singh is fascinated by Indian military history, before and after the country’s independence. But it’s horses that are vital in his life, and polo is his passion—as a player, a sponsor and an author of a history of the game in India. For many years he played for Jodhpur’s highly successful team, both in India and abroad, and today he captains Suján Indian Tigers, which recently won the coveted 14-goal handicap Sirmour Cup in Jaipur. He lives in New Delhi with his wife and two children.
