Dr. Varghese Kurian: The Idealistic Entrepreneur Who Strives For Success

"Every success story is a tale of constant adaption, revision and change" Richard Branson

Success is much more than wealth, influence, or notoriety. Success is just the satisfaction and happiness one feels after adopting a certain lifestyle or engaging in a certain activity. Only with intense effort and a tiny bit of luck can success in any endeavour or area of life be attained.

Determination is one of the most essential success ingredients and may even be the most essential success secret. Never giving up until the goal of happiness and contentment in life is fully attained is vital for success. Diverse people find enjoyment and contentment in quite different things.

Dr. Varghese Kurian is the chairman of the VKL Holdings and Al Namal Group of Companies, which employs more than 7000 people.

The group's businesses include real estate, property development and management, construction, health, and hospitality. Since 1990, Dr. Varghese Kurian has been actively involved in real estate development.

He has successfully created, managed, marketed, and sold more than 200 commercial and residential structures worth more than BHD 500 million throughout the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Varghese Kurian made a successful entry into the hotel market with the Dream Hotel in Kochi, which is now known as the Radisson Blu.

He feels that luxurious and sophisticated hotels are essential for the rise of tourism, which will expedite the country's progress. "Kerala has many unexplored destinations and one reason why they go unnoticed is we don't have good hotels and places which provide essential facilities," he says.

The Group finished the Best Western Olive, Al Murooj, Lulu Hypermarket in Hidd, and Middle East Hospital projects despite the upheaval brought on by the heightened civil unrest.
