THE VIEW FROM MY PERCH
A 360-DEGREE VIEW OF AN UNCHARTED LIFE
by RAJU MENON
More than a personal biography, the book steps beyond its own generic limits to become an inspiring tale for diligent youth who want to reach great heights. As one reads through Raju Menon’s journey, one cannot but be fascinated by the way he has broken down his life into various phases, each representing a struggle and a step towards his destination.
Raju Menon’s story is not one of windfall or luck, but rather, of consistency and perseverance, and most importantly, humility and being in touch with his roots. Even from his perch, this exceptional businessman can only bow to his past, which he believes has had the greatest contribution in shaping his present.

Sitting on the topmost branch of the world’s tallest tree, the author is visualizing the past, the present and the future. The beautiful view of a hardworking visionary who was born in Thrissur, raised up in Kozhikode, worked in Mumbai and now established and enjoying his life with his family and friends in the UAE. The plot revolves around his accounting firm which grew and flourished along with the growth and development of the UAE. This book also highlights the pivotal role played by his family (especially mother) in his accomplishments. A story of a humanitarian, who has taken the society along with him in his path to progress, and that needs a special mention when we talk about Raju Menon M. Com, LLB, FCA, CPA, FAIA.
THANKACHAN MANDAPATHIL
On one side, the book reinforced the belief that with dedication and hard work, one can achieve greater heights in life; on the other hand, it also brought back many memories from my own journey in the CA profession. The book reflects upon the journey of a young boy from a remote village in Kerala to head one of the largest consulting firms in UAE (“Kreston Menon”) with all the ups and downs, building the organization brick by brick with high standards and principles. While the book has all the ingredients to build a successful business, it also highlights remembering your roots from where one starts his journey. A lovely book by a wonderful person.. kudos to Raju Menon.. 😀
