Piyush Jain Biography

Piyush Jain is an Indian businessman from Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh, known for his work in chemicals, perfumes and related businesses. Born in 1969, he built,

Early life and background

Piyush Jain was born in 1969 in Chhipatti, Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh, and grew up in a family with roots in local trade. His grandfather, Phool Chand Jain, ran a cloth-printing business, and his father, Maheshchandra Jain, worked for a soap company in Mumbai. Jain completed undergraduate and postgraduate studies in chemistry, earning a BSc and an MSc in the subject from Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University (formerly Kanpur University).

Career

Jain began his working life in the soap industry, initially employed as a salesman in his father’s business in Mumbai. Over time he moved into manufacturing compounds used in soaps and detergents, later branching into edible compounds for tobacco products and then into perfumery. He expanded his business presence from Uttar Pradesh to other Indian cities and overseas, and the available information states he established companies in the Middle East as well.

He co-founded Odochem Industries with his elder brother, Amrish Jain, and at one point is reported to have been associated with more than 38 companies in India. His elder brother is described as a businessman active in Kannauj.

Public profile

Jain kept a relatively low public profile prior to late 2021. Descriptions from neighbours portrayed him as living simply, traveling by scooter, and dressing modestly. Reports indicate he maintained a family life in Anandpuri, Uttar Pradesh, before the events later described.

Legal issues and 2021 raids

In October 2021, an investigation by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI), Ahmedabad, began after authorities detained trucks carrying pan masala cartons whose invoices did not match the value of the goods. That inquiry expanded and involved additional entities, including a transport company and a pan factory. On 23 December 2021, DGGI investigators examined links involving Piyush Jain and his brother.

A subsequent raid on Jain’s bungalow in Kanpur in December 2021 resulted in the recovery of a large amount of cash. Reports state that more than Rs. 257 crore was recovered from the property during the operation, along with documents related to properties in multiple locations, 25 kg of gold and 150 kg of silver. The raid reportedly took over 120 hours. Additional properties linked to Jain were also raided and yielded further cash recoveries.

Following those investigations, Jain was arrested by Kanpur police on 27 December 2021 and held in Kanpur jail. Media reports from that period described him as having difficulty sleeping and eating while in custody.

Personal life

Jain is married and has children: two sons named Pratyush and Priyansh, and a daughter, Nilanasha, who is identified as a pilot. His spouse is reported to be a partner in his business activities. He is listed as having one elder brother, Amrish Jain, and his mother’s name is not publicly recorded in the available material.

Physical profile

Reported physical details include a height of approximately 168 cm (about 5 feet 6 inches), black eyes and black hair.
