In 1892, almost 130 years ago, the late Gangaram Hargovandas Singapuri (the first Gujarati from Surat, India, the Diamond Capital of the world) came to Singapore, hence the surname SINGAPURI. He established his firm, MAGANLAL NAGINDAS & CO., in Singapore in 1895. His main dealings were in Textiles, Electronics, Cosmetics, Diamonds and Gemstones. Slowly and steadily he established branches in the U.S.A., India, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Japan. Very soon he became a property magnate & philanthropist. Being one of the early pioneers of Singapore, he was very well known and respected in Singapore & Surat, India. He established the Gujarati, Surti community in Singapore by bringing many families from Surat to Singapore. He played a pivotal role in establishing the Indian Merchants Association, now known as the Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SICCI). He also built & established the SINGAPURI WADI (FOUNDATION) in Surat, where there is a free hospital, eye clinic, wedding hall, etc. for the public to use. The Singapuri family, linked to Gangaram Hargovandas Singapuri, is THE oldest Gujarati Surti family in Singapore.

In 1959 the family partition took place and S. G. Singapuri (one of the sons of the late Gangaram Hargovandas Singapuri) established NEW LIGHT Enterprises (NLE). His business was basically indenting textile fabrics from Japan & Korea. In 1979 Deepak S. Singapuri (Grandson of the late Gangaram Hargovandas Singapuri) joined his father and diversified the business. Today NEW LIGHT Enterprises, now in its 62nd year of business, is amongst the oldest established Diamond Trading Companies in Singapore.
