P. N. C. Menon (Puthan Naduvakkatt Chenthamaraksha Menon) is an Indian businessman, the self-made billionaire Founder and Chairman of Sobha Group (property development) and Sobha Ltd. (NSE: SOBHA). His career is rooted in interior design, real estate development, and entrepreneurial audacity.

Menon dropped out of college to start his career. His philosophical approach centers on vertical integration (controlling the entire process from design to finishing), quality construction, and long-term asset hold in the essential real estate sector (in India and the Middle East). The idea began with a small interior design firm he started in Oman in 1976.

• Sobha Group (Founder & Chairman): The core private asset, a major real estate developer specializing in luxury and quality residential projects in India and the Middle East (e.g., Sobha City).
• Sobha Ltd. (Executive): The publicly traded Indian subsidiary.
• Real Estate Focus: His success is built on scale construction and vertical integration (owning all aspects of construction).
• Philanthropy: He is a major donor to education and social welfare (committing 50 percent of his personal wealth to the PNM Public Charitable Trust).

P. N. C. Menon's strategic genius was his commitment to total quality control through vertical integration. After initial success in Oman's interior design market, he founded Sobha Developers in 1995 in Bangalore, India. His structural contribution is immense: pioneering the concept of total vertical integration in the Indian real estate sector (owning factories for concrete, wood, and metal components), which ensured high quality and timely delivery.

The company successfully executed its IPO on the NSE. He remains Chairman, guiding the company's continuous expansion. His wealth is secured by the colossal, long-term, stable profitability of the Indian and Middle Eastern real estate and construction sectors.

P. N. C. Menon's social impact is structural, stemming from Sobha Group's role in providing essential housing and commercial infrastructure in India and the UAE. His commitment to vertical integration ensures quality construction. His profound philanthropic commitment (committing 50 percent of his wealth) provides a major structural contribution to education and poverty alleviation in India.

His structural contribution is tied to the successful industrialization and scale of the highly complex Indian real estate development sector.

P. N. C. Menon maintains the professional, composed style of a corporate executive. His attire is consistently formal and high-quality, favoring tailored business suits or traditional Indian attire. His aesthetic reflects serious authority and stability, typical of a leader in the global real estate sector.

Residing in Dubai, UAE, his luxury is the immense security and financial reward derived from his multi-billion dollar fortune. His life is dedicated to real estate development, strategic planning, and philanthropy.
