CHAIRMAN

SUGATHAN JANARDHANAN

Mr. Sugathan Janardhanan hails from Trivandrum. He began his career in Mumbai and, after gaining valuable experience, moved to Dubai 40 years ago to join a furniture manufacturing company. Leveraging strong business insight and a quick understanding of the industry, he developed deep expertise in furniture manufacturing. In 1991, he founded a small upholstery unit in Ajman, which marked the start of a global enterprise. Today, his Royal Palace Group boasts an annual turnover of approximately USD 100 million, exporting products to over 40 countries. His expansion plans took him to China, where he leveraged access to raw materials and skilled labour to support his manufacturing operations. In 1998, he expanded to India by setting up factories in Trivandrum (Kerala) and Tenkasi (Tamil Nadu). Products under the brand “Indroyal” are sold through the company’s own outlets and a wide dealer network. Beyond furniture, Mr. Sugathan Janardhanan has diversified into hospitality, property developing and agriculture farming.
