Jyoti “JP” Lall | March 14, 1976 – March 21, 2026

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Jyoti “JP” Lall, who left us on March 21, 2026. Born on March 14, 1976, JP approached life with an enduring enthusiasm that touched everyone around him. His competitive spirit, quick wit, and warmth made every moment with him unforgettable.

JP is survived by his loving family: his brother, Soam Lall; his father, Narine Lall; his mother, Jagrani Lall; his niece, Samara Lall; and his sister-in-law, Christina Chang. He was a devoted son, a proud and loving brother and uncle, and a deeply loyal friend. 

An alumnus of The Dalton School in New York City and Emory University in Atlanta, JP’s academic journey was marked by both brilliance and determination. From early chess championships to pursuing the MCATs with interests of becoming a doctor, there was no intellectual challenge he could not meet. His resilience was evident early in life—after receiving a liver transplant during his senior year of high school in at Mount Sinai in NY, JP repeated the year and graduated with strength and resolve. This moment was not a setback, but the beginning of a life defined by perseverance.

JP went on to build an extraordinary career spanning more than two decades. He spent 22 years at Goldman Sachs, where he rose to Managing Director and became a highly respected leader in electronic trading engineering. He later served as VP and Head of Engineering for CartaX at Carta, and most recently as Executive Vice President and Head of Engineering at Forge (Charles Schwab). Across every role, JP was known not only for his technical brilliance but for his leadership—mentoring others, building strong teams, and creating environments where people felt seen, supported, and capable of more than they imagined. His true legacy lies in the countless individuals he uplifted.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, JP was a man with rich interests. He was an avid lover of food, always eager to explore new cuisines and share memorable meals. He was a passionate sports fan, especially devoted to the Mets and the Knicks. He found joy in travel, biking, golf, and time spent with friends—whether at a game, around a dinner table, or playing Destiny at home.

Family was deeply important to JP. He was devoted to his parents, ensuring they were cared for and supported with weekend visits and many shared meals. He carried a profound appreciation for their sacrifices and was driven to build a better future for them. He was proud of his younger brother Soam and his niece Samara; often visiting them in Los Angeles and Vancouver.

JP was also a private man. Many did not know the extent of his lifelong medical journey, as he chose to be defined by his character and abilities rather than his circumstances. He lived with quiet strength, integrity, and dignity—never seeking special treatment, only fairness and respect.

JP’s passing leaves an immeasurable void, but his spirit lives on in the lives he touched. To honor him is to live as he did—with generosity, curiosity, and intention. He aimed uplift others, to make people feel valued and to pursue life fully.

In his memory, the Lall family invites you to:
