FOREWORD BY

RAJEEV CHANDRASEKHAR
Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, New Delhi, India

I HAVE READ WITH GREAT interest this book about Mr Raju Menon. While it is of a biographical nature, it is also aimed at various demographic segments like youth, women, young entrepreneurs and professionals, hoping that it will inspire them to fulfill the wishes of Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji for an Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Raju Menon is a respected business leader who, even while living in a foreign land running businesses in multiple geographies, is contributing to driving that paradigm change foreseeing India as a vibrant, global force—not only business, but in several dynamic spheres, including as a spearhead of soft skills, culture and development. I am delighted to do the Foreword for this book about his life and times.

I sincerely hope that this story of the rise of a patriotic Indian from a small-town Kerala village to the pinnacle of achievements in one of the world’s most competitive markets is read, assimilated, and its invaluable lessons put into good practice by the variegated target audience of the book, especially the youth.

I wish Raju Menon more success, the scaling of greater heights and the very best for wide readership, recognition and accolades for this book around the world.

Jai Hind.
