Born in Mathurapur village, Neeraj completed his matriculation in 2000 and moved to Jharkhand in search of work. However, due to his young age, he could not find employment and returned home, where he started selling petrol and diesel to support his family. The weight of family responsibilities soon pushed him to venture out again — a decision that became the turning point in his life.
In 2003, Neeraj reached Delhi and took up a job as a security guard, working double shifts for a meagre salary. A year later, he moved to Pune, where he gradually rose from an office boy to an HR assistant. After his grandmother’s death, he returned to his native state and, in 2010, joined a microfinance company in Motihari, earning ₹3,300 a month. It was here that he began to understand market dynamics and business opportunities.
While working in Motihari, Neeraj got the idea of trading in grains. When he helped a relative purchase land and received ₹25,000 as a reward, he used it to start a small business — a move that changed his life. His grain business soon expanded to ₹20–30 crore in turnover, laying the foundation for his entrepreneurial journey.
Over time, Neeraj diversified his ventures into tiles, fibre blocks, fly-ash bricks, road construction, flour mills, and brick manufacturing. His company, Usha Industries, now employs over 2,000 people, with its products being used in various government projects. In 2025, he also opened his own petrol pump on the Sheohar–Motihari road, symbolically completing a journey that began with selling fuel on the roadside.
Now he has stepped into politics. Neeraj Singh is Jan Suraaj’s candidate from the Sheohar Assembly constituency. Coming from the Rajput community, he is widely regarded as a symbol of “success through struggle”.
Neeraj holds Bachelor’s and LL.B. degrees from Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Muzaffarpur, and is known for his philanthropic work in education, healthcare, employment, and social welfare over the past decade.
