New Delhi: The journey of an entrepreneur is often defined by business milestones, but for Sukhwinder Singh, popularly known as Sukhwinder Singh Gullu, professional growth has also been closely connected with community participation and neighbourhood development. An entrepreneur, businessperson and social worker associated with Delhi’s Mundka Assembly Constituency, particularly Nilothi and Chander Vihar, Singh has built his journey across manufacturing, real estate, trading and grassroots civic engagement.
Born on 30 April 1979 in Delhi, Singh developed an early interest in machinery, electronics and practical experimentation. His curiosity about how things worked eventually became an important influence on his professional life. During his school years, he experimented with small mechanical and electronic projects, including building a model helicopter around the eighth grade.
From a Family Business to Multiple Entrepreneurial Ventures
Singh’s professional journey began with his father’s door-closer manufacturing business. At approximately 16–17 years of age, he started visiting the factory and learning about production, machinery and business operations. This early exposure helped him understand the practical aspects of entrepreneurship.
Over time, his commercial interests expanded into aluminium doors and windows, aluminium fabrication, elevations, manufacturing, trading, import and export, and real estate-related activities. His experience across different sectors provided exposure to procurement, production, sales, marketing and business management.
He also explored consumer-facing business opportunities through NVDC Nonveg.com, a food-cart venture that expanded to locations including Vikas Puri, Janakpuri and Subhash Nagar, with a franchise in Khanna.
His entrepreneurial interests further extended into property networking. After initially working under the name Ashwin Properties, he developed the concept of Chander Vihar Property Exchange, an initiative intended to connect property owners, buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants through an organised local network.
Political Involvement and the Beginning of Grassroots Work
Alongside business, Singh became involved in public and political activities during the anti-corruption movement of 2012–2013. His early political experience included participation in the election campaign of Jarnail Singh, where he engaged in voter interaction, public outreach and campaign coordination.
These experiences introduced him to grassroots organisation and the importance of understanding public concerns. His subsequent involvement included organisational activities and discussions around local governance, government schools and education.
Over time, his attention increasingly shifted towards civic issues affecting residents of Nilothi and Chander Vihar.
Hamara Park: An Initiative to Protect Community Spaces
One of the notable community-focused initiatives associated with Singh was the Hamara Park campaign. Recognising the importance of accessible public spaces for children, senior citizens and families, he raised concerns about government land behind Shri Khanda Sahib and the need to preserve it for public use.
According to his account, the initiative involved complaints, Right to Information (RTI) applications and communication with concerned government departments. Efforts were also made to encourage residents to participate in protecting public land.
Singh has stated that four to five parks are now present in the area. For him, the development of these spaces represents an important aspect of creating a better neighbourhood and improving the everyday environment for residents.
Team Chander Vihar Ki Khoobsurati: Bringing Residents Together
Believing that sustainable neighbourhood development requires collective participation, Singh, along with his associate Sandeep, established Team Chander Vihar Ki Khoobsurati (Team CVKK) on 15 August 2018.
The initiative evolved from an earlier online effort called Delhi Ki Khoobsurati before shifting its focus towards local civic concerns in Chander Vihar.
Team CVKK provides residents with a platform to raise issues, exchange information and participate in neighbourhood improvement activities. Its areas of engagement include cleanliness, parks, roads, water supply, sewerage, street lighting and public facilities.
Rather than functioning as a political campaign, the initiative aims to encourage residents to work together and communicate their concerns to the relevant authorities.
Singh’s approach emphasises that local development becomes more effective when people actively participate in identifying problems and following up on possible solutions.
A Vision for Better Property Networking
His interest in real estate has also resulted in the development of Chander Vihar Property Exchange, a concept designed to make local property information and networking more accessible.
The broader vision includes expanding this model into a Delhi Property Exchange network, connecting different property markets and facilitating communication between buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants and property professionals.
The initiative reflects his interest in combining business opportunities with organised local networks.
Looking Ahead: Connecting Entrepreneurship with Community Progress
Sukhwinder Singh Gullu’s journey brings together different areas of experience, from manufacturing and entrepreneurship to political organisation and community initiatives. His work in Nilothi and Chander Vihar reflects an approach centred on public participation, practical problem-solving and communication with government departments.
His stated priorities include improving civic infrastructure, protecting public spaces, strengthening neighbourhood networks and making local information more accessible.
For Singh, community development is not limited to large projects or announcements. It also involves addressing everyday concerns that directly affect residents.
Through his entrepreneurial ventures and community initiatives, he continues to explore ways to connect business experience with local development, keeping neighbourhood participation at the centre of his broader vision.
