With this in mind, Mr. Gupta resigned from Haryana Financial Corporation and started his own Chartered Accountancy Practice under the name of NKG & Associates. While running his business, he took up a plethora of assignments related to tax, searches, surveys, audits and other miscellaneous work.
However, as business on a much larger scale was always his final aim, he made an earnest foray in the business of construction in 1995. Subsequently, he established numerous companies and partnership firms, keeping in line with the present trends in the real estate sector of constituting separate entities for different projects. In the times ahead, the group popularly came to be known as Manglam Builders and Developers and later on this Flagship Company was renamed as Manglam Build Developers Private Limited.
