Dr. Raji Menon, the visionary founder and chairman of the Menon Group, has built a global business empire spanning diverse sectors including subsoil hydrocarbon reserves, pharmaceuticals, information technology, and media. Beginning his entrepreneurial journey in Moscow in the 1980s, the Menon Group has expanded into a wide range of industries, from pharmaceuticals and aeronautics to computers and polygraphy.

One of Dr. Menon’s early successes was in visual media. The Menon Group’s Indian media conglomerate, Asianet, has achieved a remarkable global reach, touching the lives of over 40 million Indians in more than 60 countries.
