Jugal Ladda

My family’s origins are from Nagore District, Rajasthan. I was born and raised in Dornakal, Telangana, and completed my Bachelor’s at Osmania University in Hyderabad. I moved to the United States in 1998 for my MBA/MIS, graduating with honors. Having worked in the granite and marble wholesale industry since 2000, I started my own stone wholesale and distribution company, Reliance Surfaces. Reliance Surfaces has been in business for almost 20 years as one of the leading suppliers in the Northeast — our product line consists of natural stones such as granite, marble, quartzite, dolomite, limestone, soapstone, calcite, etc., and our own brand of engineered stones including Reliance Quartz and Reliance Porcelain. We are also authorized distributors for multiple high-end Italian brands, including the porcelain brand Florim and the Mosaic Tile brand Bisazza. Our vinyl flooring brand, Millennials LVT, started 3 years ago and has been flourishing.

I have been involved in the Livingston community for the last 10 years, conducting events for Diwali and making the community come together for cricket matches sponsored by my company, Reliance. It has been an absolute pleasure to serve my community and create long-lasting connections with wonderful people I have met along the way. I have been a longtime member of the MMNA and actively involved in its activities since 2022.

I have been married to my wife Vandana Ladda since 2000 and we have two children — Nidhi (19) who studies at Babson College and Raghav (18), who studies at Boston University. We live in Livingston, New Jersey
