JL Kapoor Memorial Trust was established in loving memory of the late Shri J.L. Kapoor, who passed away at the age of 58.

Born in Lyallpur (now in Pakistan), Shri J.L. Kapoor migrated with his family to New Delhi during the Partition. He completed his education in Delhi before embarking on a distinguished and long standing career in the aviation industry. His professional journeys took him across the globe, instilling  a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and societies. Later in his career, he served as an Advisor to the President of Sri Lanka within the Ministry of Policy Planning and Implementation. In 1994, he stepped down from his advisory role and settled in Gurgaon, Haryana, where he spent his remaining years.

Shri J.L. Kapoor was a compassionate leader, a disciplined administrator, and a firm believer in karma and social equality. Deeply grounded in his principles, he always valued teamwork, respected diverse perspectives, and remained dedicated to uplifting underprivileged and marginalized communities. 

To honor his vision, legacy, and commitment to service, his elder son, Amit Kapoor, founded the JL Kapoor Memorial Trust. Registered under the Trust Act of 1882, the Trust is a secular, non-profit organization dedicated to executing impactful social welfare initiatives for those in need.
