About Siva Group

IT'S A RARE BREED THAT KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.

Foresight is a gift. And when you combine it with skill and commercial acumen, the result is often
breathtaking. That in a nutshell is the story of the Siva Group, a future spotter, early entrant, market maker ...
a story of vision, speed, consolidation and operational excellence. Started in 1986 by Mr. C Sivasankaran,
the Group today is a US$ 3 billion conglomerate, with operations in Realty, Telecom, Project Engineering,
Shipping, Energy, Agri exports and e-education / software.
As early as 1988, Mr Sivasankaran recognized the enormous potential of personal computers. Way back
then, Siva PCs went on to become the benchmark value definers and trend setters for the nascent industry. In
the following years, the group’s reputation as a pioneer and ‘Nextpert’ grew rapidly as it went on to build
leading brands in broadband connectivity, mobile telephony and food & beverages, proving with each
venture, the core competencies of the group in terms of entrepreneurial spirit, operational capability and
unmatched skill in scaling.
The mobile brand Aircel created by the Siva Group was one of the major
players in the mobile market then, changing the rules of the game from the
word go. Post its divesture in March 2006, the Group has been making its
presence felt in the fields of Realty, Project Engineering, Shipping, Energy,
Agri exports and e-education / software initiatives, both in India and abroad.
While the Siva Group has grown to become one of the most
successful business houses in the country, it has stayed rooted to the
guiding business principles and beliefs of its founder promoter
Mr. C. Sivasankaran, viz.
Identify unfulfilled needs of society
Convert such needs into business opportunities, seizing the first mover
advantage
Offer high quality products and services at reasonable prices while
