Born in Karachi and raised in Mumbai post-Partition, Rajan’s journey is defined by resilience and reinvention—from a successful stint in Bollywood to dubbing Hollywood films like Schindler’s List into Hindi to relocating to Dubai at 53 to establish GTA in 2000. Today, GTA operates under Mainetti, a world leader in hanger production, employing over 500 people across multiple countries.
A firm believer in innovation, niche markets, and strong relationships, Rajan has built a legacy of strategic foresight and business excellence. His autobiography, I Did It My Way, releasing in March 2025, captures his inspiring story of love, loss, betrayal, and wisdom. Beyond business, Rajan is a philanthropist and cultural patron, known for his contributions to spiritual and community initiatives.
