At the age of 18, Neeraj Singh left his home in Bihar’s Shivhar district in search of a job. Neeraj Singh was born in Mathurapur village in Shivhar, Bihar. He completed his matriculation in 2000 and went to Jharkhand in search of work. However he didn’t get a security guard position over there. He returned to his village and started a small makeshift shop selling petrol and diesel.

Considering his family’s financial situation and to support his siblings’ education, Neeraj left for Delhi in 2003. There, he took up a job as a night security guard for a pharmaceutical company and worked in double shifts due to the low salary. In 2004, he moved to Pune, initially over here also he worked as a security guard. Later on he was promoted to an office boy and later, by 2006, to an HR assistant.

His first break was when he helped a relative buy land in Motihari. As a middleman, he earned a reward of Rs 25,000, which he used to start a grain trading business. Purchasing grains from villages and selling them in cities was his first business.

Neeraj expanded his grain trading business, which generated around annual turnover of Rs 20-30 crores. He also started working into other sectors like Tiles manufacturing, Fiber blocks, Fly-ash bricks, road construction boards, flour mills, brick production.

He also became one of Bihar’s top government contractors, supplying products to various state enterprises. In 2025, he opened a petrol pump on the Shivhar-Motihari road near Dumri.
