LEADERSHIP

MEGHRAJ SINGH SHEKHAWAT

Meghraj Singh Ji Shekhawat is a visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist dedicated to the socio-economic upliftment of Rajasthan. Starting his career in 1977 at the Taj's Rambagh Palace, Jaipur, and gaining international experience in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, he returned to India in 1985 with a profound appreciation for his homeland and its cultural potential. Recognizing Jaisalmer's promise as a premier tourist destination, he launched his first hotel, Narayan Vilas, and restaurant, Trio, setting the stage for his extensive hospitality ventures. Under his leadership, The MRS Group has created iconic properties such as Suryagarh in Jaisalmer, Narendra Bhawan and Laxmi Niwas Palace in Bikaner, and Mary Budden Estate in Binsar.

Currently, he is focused on restoring five forts and palaces to transform them into cultural hubs with hospitality-led diverse enterprises. Beyond hospitality, his business interests span mining, infrastructure, and real estate across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. Since 1989, Meghraj Singh Ji Shekhawat has been committed to public welfare and community service, focusing on education, environmental conservation, sustainable tourism, healthcare, and heritage preservation. His crucial support established The I Love Foundation in 2013.

Additionally, he has supported numerous 'Gaushalas' and, over the last 12 years, has tirelessly contributed to the land restoration project Dhun in Jaipur, transforming 500 acres of barren land into a thriving ecosphere. In 2016, he founded the Rajput Vikas Parishad (RVP) to empower Rajput youth and established a civil service and public sector institute in Jaipur and a girls' hostel in Ajmer. In 2017, he launched Navjan, a non-profit dedicated to youth empowerment through education, entrepreneurship, and equality. In 2023, he founded the Shri Kalyan Singh Memorial Girls Hostel in Jodhpur to support underprivileged girls. In 2024, he co-founded The United Global Peace Foundation with Dr. Vikrant Singh Tomar to provide bright but underprivileged children with access to top coaching for competitive exams and sports scholarships.
