Jindal was born in the village of Nalwa in Hisar district of Haryana to a farmer family.

However, his parents sent him to Calcutta, along with his elder brothers, due to irregular monsoon patterns and constant disputes over land ownership, to learn the basics of wholesale and retail textile trading, as Eastern India was a hub of commerce at the time.

[3] At 20, Jindal began his entrepreneurial journey by moving to Calcutta, where he worked as a trader dealing in steel pipes and tubes.

[9] After his demise, his widow, Savitri Jindal, contested the election for the same seat (Hisar Assembly) her husband had held and was elected, subsequently being appointed as the Minister of State for Revenue, Disaster Management, Rehabilitation, and Housing in the Haryana's state government.

Om Prakash Ji was an inspiring and enterprising person, whose life story is one of extraordinary achievements.

I pay tribute to the memory of this extraordinary son of India and it is in this context that I am especially grateful for this opportunity to be amongst you today.
