Following The Success Story of Ravi Pillai and The Growth of RP Group of Companies as a Brand

Hailing from a farming family in Kerala, Ravi Pillai is today a construction tycoon with a net worth of around $2.5 billion

The history of the delighted pillar and the way in which the Dollar worth's multibillion business empire has set up is something that deserves to be listened to above all by grass entrepreneurs. Ravi Pillairavi Pillai Ravi Railways Operations is a man of action and not just words.

The proceeds will be handed over to the Prime Minister of Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan, for distribution through NORKA Roots. The remaining Rs 10 crore will be used by the RP Foundation to provide financial assistance to economically disadvantaged families. People struggling to pay medical bills and widows will also receive help from the RP Foundation. In addition to financial assistance, Ravi Pillai through his PR Foundation has also partnered with the Kerala state government to address the COVID situation. A 250-bed COVID treatment facility has been set up at the Sankaramangalam School in Chavara. In addition, the RP foundation has paid fares for many stranded families in various countries. There are individuals who do it for the fame or the positive light it shows them in, but not for Ravi Pillai. Kindness and empathy are his watchwords, and he showed the world that actions should back up words.

Move at the right timeFor someone who has never been abroad and adds that he didn't know anyone there, it was not easy for Pillai to get started. During his first two years in Saudi Arabia, he worked in partnership with businessman Abdullah Juan. Shortly after, he joined Nasser AlHajri. Nasser AlHajri Corporation is today one of the largest general construction contractors in the Middle East. With more than 50% partnership in the company, Pillai then formed the RP group of companies. The company started with just 120 employees. At a time when Indian companies were hardly doing any notable projects in the Middle East, it was Pillai's determination and hard work that won the PR group several infrastructure projects. And construction related to defense.

His early victories include construction projects for the Royal Air Terminal at Riyadh Airport. It was a time when the price of oil had plummeted, but when industrialization hit the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the price of oil soared, Pillai seized the opportunity to get into sourcing industrial, including petrochemical projects. A strong advocate of diversification, his vision for business growth transcends industries. Acquisitions and investmentsDespite the tremendous success, there is no stopping Pillai. Over the past three decades, he has been making lucrative investments in Kerala, his home state, some of which include Upasana nursing school, Raviz Hotel and Resorts, K Mall in Kollam, and RP Mall in Kozhikode.

In 2011, he also purchased Leela’s Group’s Kovalam beach property in Kerala. Apart from his business, Ravi Pillai has always remained ahead in philanthropy. RP Group allocates around 30 percent of its profit for CSR activities, including staff welfare. Human Capital and Ethical Business ValueRavi Pillai is not, in any way, the typical rich businessman. For him, more than profits, his first priority is his employees, the number of which stands at around 120,000.“Money is not everything, most important is to have a kind heart,” he says. He attributes the tremendous growth of the RP Group of Companies to the trust and commitment of its people. Pillai was quick to turn any challenge into an opportunity.
