Maran Nagarajan
Chairman and Vision Holder

It’s said, ‘Guided by a powerful vision, great men accomplish greater things for themselves and society.’ Maran Nagarajan’s transformational life bears out this belief. Giving back to society was the vision that inspired Maran to start Kaar Technologies in 2005. With his focused vision, charismatic leadership and international business exposure, he built Kaar as a multi-million dollar global enterprise.

Maran served as CEO from 2005 to 2014 and set strategic direction for business growth. As a firm believer on ethical business practice, he crafted Kaar’s operating DNA around honesty and integrity. As founder and chief strategist, he guided Kaar on many fronts including service innovation, technology advancements, and knowledge management among others. Along with co-founders, he introduced novel consulting concepts and set new benchmark for customer service which positioned Kaar as a trailblazer in SAP consulting space. Under his able leadership, the company witnessed a spiraling growth and went on to become one of the most sought-after technology and business consulting firm in the global business landscape.

To serve society at large, he recently stepped down as CEO and is currently collaborating with NGOs, civic bodies and social movements on variety of social causes. As Chairman and Vision Holder, he continues to provide his business wisdom and direction for future growth.

Maran is a multi-faceted business leader and social cause crusader. Through channels such as TiE and YESCON, he curates business ideas and mentors aspiring entrepreneurs. Kaar Arakattalai (Foundation), the CSR wing of Kaar, was his brainchild. He is an avid reader, a strong patron of Tamil language and an intrepid connoisseur of culture, cuisine and travel.
