Jhalak Diamond Drilling founder and team

Our Story

35+ years serving clients across India

Jhalak Diamond Drilling was founded by Mr. Shankarlal. His son joined him in the field from the age of 16, and by 18 was already carrying out work independently, building the business into the trusted name it is today, with more than 35 years of hands-on experience across government and private projects nationwide.

Jhalak Diamond Drilling's role is focused and specific: getting the right soil sample out of the ground and into the hands of the laboratory the client has chosen, without contamination or error. Lab testing and analysis itself is carried out by the client's lab, not by us.
