Hi @ParthBhadiyadra 

I don't know if there is any direct way to get Thing Group from the Thing level 

As a workaround, you can use the 'GetWhereUsed' service to get a thing relationship with any Thing Group

You can further filter this InfoTable based on EntityType  to get ThingGroups details alone

for this project i need to create multiple organizations/Companies and each organization has admin and user,  and each organization have device  that monitor by that organization user so i want to send email notification to that organization's user only no other organization's user for that I have add all device thing in to thing group and base on that thing group i am sending email.

So  I need to get thing group name using thing

I suggest creating a Network rather than using ThingGroups for this process. With that you can simply get the parent of a specific Thing. This "parent" itself can be a simple generic Thing that represents the company and contains properties like the e-mail adress for the mentioned notifications.
