DLF Limited (Delhi Land & Finance) is the largest commercial real estate developer in India by revenue, profit, and market share. It was founded by Raghuvendra Singh in 1946 and is based in New Delhi, India.DLF developed residential colonies in Delhi such as Shivaji Park (their
first development), Rajouri Garden, Krishna Nagar, South Extension,
Greater Kailash, Kailash Colony, and Hauz Khas. DLF builds residential,
office, and retail properties.
With the passage of Delhi Development Act in 1957, the local
government assumed control of real estate development in Delhi and
banned private real estate developers. As a result DLF began acquiring
land at relatively low cost outside the area controlled by the Delhi Development Authority, in the district of Gurgaon. In the mid-1970s, the company started developing their DLF City project at Gurgaon.
The company is headed by Indian billionaire Kushal Pal Singh.

Amul India
An Indian Dairy Cooperative
Head quarter: Anand , Gujrat, India.
Key people :Chairman, Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF)
Founded 1946
The Kaira District Co-operative Milk Producers' Union Ltd. was registered on 1 December 1946 as a response to the exploitation of marginal milk producers by traders or agents of the only existing dairy, the Polson (brand) dairy, in the small town of Anand (in Kaira District of Gujarat).Milk producers had to travel long distances to deliver milk, which often went sour in summer, to Polson.Moreover, the government at that time had given monopoly rights to Polson to collect milk from Anand and supply it to Bombay city.
Angered by the unfair trade practices, the farmers of Kaira approached Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel under the leadership of local farmer leader Tribhuvandas K. Patel. He advised them to form a cooperative and supply milk directly to the Bombay Milk Scheme instead of Polson (who did the same but gave them low prices). He sent Morarji Desai to organise the farmers. In 1946, the milk farmers of the area went on a strike which led to the setting up of the cooperative to collect and process milk. Milk collection was decentralized, as most producers were marginal farmers who could deliver atmost 1–2 litres of milk per day. Cooperatives were formed for each village too.
The Cooperative was further developed and managed by Dr.Verghese Kurien along with H.M. Dalaya. Dalaya's innovation of making skim milk powder from buffalo milk for the first time anywhere in the world and a little later, along with Kurien's help, making it on a commercial scale, led to the first modern dairy of the cooperative at Anand, which would compete against established players in the market.
The trio's (T. K. Patel, Kurien and Dalaya's) success at the cooperative's dairy soon spread to Anand's neighbourhood in Gujarat, and within a short span, five unions in other districts – Mehsana, Banaskantha, Baroda, Sabarkantha and Surat were set up. In order to combine forces and expand the market while saving on advertising and avoid competing against each other, the GCMMF, an apex marketing body of these district cooperatives was set up in 1973. The Kaira Union which had the brand name of Amul with it since 1955, transferred it to GCMMF.
