ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

When you believe in the power of ambition, possibilities soar. The story of Mr PNC Menon is one of determination, inspiration, and the pursuit of perfection – for these very qualities took him from ₹50 to being a Global Billionaire. Mr Menon lost his father when he was 10, and had no formal business training or mentorship while growing up. When he started an interior design & decoration firm in Oman, his keen eye for detail and relentless focus on quality were noticed, and valued immensely.

Soon, he was called upon to craft the interiors of iconic structures such as Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and Al Bustan Palace in Muscat. What followed was a natural expansion into construction and real estate across countries, that became an international luxury powerhouse – the SOBHA group. Within a decade of commencing operations, SOBHA reached the third position in Dubai; while its industry-first backward integration model was featured in a Harvard University Publication case study, making it the only real estate company in India to be studied by the iconic institution.

Under Mr Menon’s leadership, the company set industry benchmarks over three decades – with unwavering focus on quality, trust, luxury, and craftsmanship. His stellar contributions to the industry and society were recognised with highly coveted awards such as Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Puraskar by the Honourable President of India, Lifetime Achievement of the Year Award by Economic Times, Golden Peacock Lifetime Achievement Award for Business Leadership by Institute of Directors, and more.

Over 40 years ago, Mr Menon had decided to will half of his wealth to charity. He established Sri Kurumba Educational and Charitable Trust to help the less privileged – with impactful initiatives in food, education, healthcare, housing, senior care, women empowerment, and more. A few other causes that he has championed include committing ₹1000 crore for Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Riverfront Development, and donating AED 50 million towards ‘One Billion Meals Endowment’ in the UAE.

Mr PNC Menon’s indomitable spirit and exceptional mentorship continue to power businesses and philanthropic initiatives from strength to strength, across multiple countries.
