A true progeny of the global village, Mr. Jyoti Narula has been educated in schools across the world, settling down to do his graduation from Sri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi University in 1985. Armed with an MBA from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, he started his career with Digital Equipment Corporation, USA, working out of their world head quarters in Maynard, Massachusetts from 1987 to 1990.
He decided to move back to India to work with Citibank in 1990 in the newly set up Mortgages division. Jyoti, with a partner, sensed an opportunity in the fashion industry and went on to start Genesis Colors Pvt. Ltd. in the year 1992. A radical move at the time, this decision has paid rich dividends with the Genesis Colors group now becoming India's first Corporate Design House with a wide range of fashion brands that cover various segments of the market. The partnership continues to flourish and is the backbone of the rapid expansion. Genesis Colors now employs over 1500 people in its different operations with its flagship brand being Satya Paul. It also has a newly established arm in Genesis Luxury Fashion Pvt. Ltd. which distributes brands like Emporio Armani, Giorgio Armani, Canali, Bottega Veneta, Jimmy Choo, Paul Smith, Etro, Tumi, Crabtree & Evelyn across India.

The entrepreneur is a complete family man and lives in Vasant Vihar, Delhi with his parents, wife Ritu and children, Amiya and Dhruv. A health enthusiast, Jyoti has established the fitness mantra in the company by throwing open the doors of a state-of the art gymnasium, for all employees. He is also fond of water sports like swimming and rafting.
