About Me
A Life Forged in Industrial Excellence
I am the Managing Director of Velath Engineering International FZC, a flagship UAE enterprise specialising in the design, fabrication, and supply of capital process equipment for the oil & gas and heavy industrial sectors.
I was born in Velur, Thrissur, Kerala, to a mother who served as a freedom fighter — a legacy of courage and conviction that has shaped my own values of integrity and perseverance. I carried that spirit with me to the UAE, where I began my entrepreneurial journey in the 1980s, eventually founding Velath Engineering in 1985 and building one of the region's respected engineering conglomerates, headquartered in Sharjah.
Under my leadership, the company has established a strong track record delivering pressure vessels, boilers, heat exchangers, and end-to-end project management services to major clients across the Middle East and South Asia.
Over the years, I have travelled to more than 20 countries for both personal and professional needs, building international connections that have helped Velath Engineering expand its reach into global markets. When I'm not working, I enjoy travelling and am an avid lover of gadgets and new technology.
Beyond the Boardroom
Grounded in faith and family
On the road, close to the work
75+, and still active as ever — yoga, sport, and a teenager's drive

Family & Values
A Partnership Rooted in Service
Behind my journey stands my wife, a retired teaching professional who spent over 40 years shaping young minds in the UAE. Like me, her roots trace back to Thrissur, Kerala, and that shared heritage has been a constant source of strength throughout our life together.
We are both committed believers in Sanatana Dharma, and that faith guides our shared dedication to charitable work — supporting causes close to our hearts in both the UAE and our hometown in Kerala.
