Few business journeys are as transformative, deeply personal, and impactful as that of PNC Menon, the visionary Founder of Sobha Group. From modest beginnings in a small town in India, Menon’s rise to building one of the world’s most admired real estate brands is a powerful testament. His entrepreneurial story began in Bangalore, with the launch of Sobha Developers. Menon has set a new standard by introducing quality-driven construction and transparent business practices.
In 2003, Menon returned to the Middle East with a more ambitious goal: to create a world-class, backward integrated real estate brand in Dubai. This vision materialized as Sobha Realty, a global luxury real estate developer, introduced its hallmark philosophy, Art of The Detail, to one of the world’s most competitive markets.
Sobha Realty’s portfolio comprises 13 master developments across the UAE, with ambitious plans to expand into new markets both locally and globally. At the heart of this vision is Sobha Hartland, an approximately USD5 billion freehold master development in MBR City. Spanning 8 million square feet with over 30% dedicated to green and open spaces, Sobha Hartland embodies Menon’s belief that homes should not just shelter but inspire. Rooted in community, wellness, and timeless design, it has become one of Dubai’s most coveted addresses.
Today, Sobha is not just a brand; it is a legacy founded on integrity, shaped by design, and driven by an unwavering pursuit of excellence. At the heart of this legacy is PNC Menon, a figure whose success continues to inspire others.
