The Nagarjuna Group under the stewardship and guidance of K S Raju is in the
process of emerging as an enterprise based on values and commitment to the
society at large. Shri K.S.Raju, fondly known as ‘KS’ by his
peers and associates, was born at Nidadavole, West Godavari District, AP. He
completed his Mechanical Engineering from University of Mysore in 1973, and
embarked on the project which his father and he had initiated together -
Nagarjuna Steels Limited. This project gave further impetus to development of
industry in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
Group Chairman K.S.Raju’s ability to initiate new projects proved to be a vital tool for success. He provided successful business leadership for the start up, before being called on to take the Group’s most critical role in its history - that of the leadership for the Group’s fertilizer project during its most challenging phase. He encouraged the Group’s foray into core sectors and structuring of businesses to meet the customer’s needs.
Apart from promoting business, K S Raju has
always been proactive in supporting community development activities in
areas of environment, health, education and income generation to community
asset creation. He has been closely associated with the World Business Academy
and State of the World Forum. In association with these forums and with ILO,
the Group initiated the K V K Raju International Leadership Academy, which
works towards enabling managers become value based leaders.
K S Raju has served on the Boards of
Administrative Staff College of India, Hyderabad, Indian Institute of
Management, Bangalore, Court of Governors-University of Hyderabad and has also
served as the Chairman of National Institute of Technical Teachers Training and
Research, Chennai. He is one of the Founder Trustees of Naandi Foundation,
Hyderabad.
