Kavya Maran is the CEO of Sunrisers Hyderabad and Sunrisers Eastern Cape; her story in the world of cricket and media represents the fight and the vision after her father’s footsteps, Kalanithi Maran.
Kalanithi Maran: The Media Mogul and Visionary
Kalanithi Maran, born on 24th July 1964 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, is one of the most prominent personalities in Indian media and business. As a chairman and founder of the Sun Group, which is one of the largest media conglomerates in India, Maran controls television, newspapers, FM radio, and film production. His media conglomerate, Sun TV Network, is now associated with quality and creativity.
Maran’s media empire started in 1990 with the publication of the Tamil magazine *Poomaalai*. However, his biggest success story started in 1993 when he established Sun TV, which has grown to be a major media house in South India. He made Sun TV the first channel in India to establish its own earth station, which brought about a revolution in broadcasting in the country.
His business skills were again evident when, in 2010, he bought a 37% stake in SpiceJet and later on raised it to over 50%. While he divested from the airline in 2015 when the company embarked on a revival plan, this was a strategic and tactical move in view of the challenges that were facing the airline.
Due to his efforts in the media industry, Maran has received several awards, which include Young Businessman of the Year from CNBC and Young Entrepreneur of the Year from Ernst & Young. Forbes magazine has described him as the ‘Television king of southern India,’ a title that captures the influence that he has had in the television industry.
A Legacy of Excellence
The success story of Kavya Maran in the sports field and her father, Kalanithi Maran, in the media field, depicts a story of success and innovation. Kalanithi Maran, the son of former Union Minister Murasoli Maran and the grandson of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, has created a strong empire that is still active in many areas.
The success that Kalanithi has achieved, his high earnings, and his major business activities have created a high standard in the Indian business arena. His net worth as of 2023 is estimated to be $3 billion, which goes to show that his business is still thriving.
Kavya Maran has spearheaded cricket, and her father has made giant strides in media. Both of them have showcased not only their achievements but also the Maran family’s legacy in India’s business and entertainment sectors.
