Dr. Boby Chemmanur (boCHE)

"Generations to come, it may be", Einstein had said of Mahatma Gandhi in 1944, "will scarcely believe that such one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon earth." Now we have started hearing from prominent people the same wordings about boCHE! He is a huge business conglomerate, the Chemmanur International group, and a world famous philanthropist.

If we look at his versatile personality, we'll understand that the comparison made above is apt. This is what a famous business magazine wrote about boCHE recently:
"When quizzed about his favorite brand, he would only smile and point to his traditional attire — a white mundu (dhoti) and a simple short sleeved top — saying, 'this is the brand I'm carrying now since the last few years.'"

It's his great business acumen that led Chemmanur International to grow into an international jewellery chain traversing 4 continents and catering to 19 crore people with an enviable annual turnover. His unique capabilities have won him several awards and accolades including PhD by World Records University, Excellent Young Businessman Award, Best Humanitarian Award, Mother Theresa Award, and Vijayashree Award.

The contribution of Dr. Boby Chemmanur to the social services sector assumes immense value in today's world. boCHE is the founder of Life Vision Charitable Trust. He shares the profit of his trade with the poor by starting Poor Homes wherever there are outlets of Chemmanur International Jewelers, providing shelter, food, clothing, and medicines for the needy.

He undertook a record-breaking 812 km marathon in April 2014 from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram to create awareness for the world's largest blood bank. This initiative led to around 14 lakh blood donations and earned recognition in multiple record books including Kerala, India, Asia, and the UK.

To conclude, it is impossible to fully capture the dynamic personality of boCHE in a short profile. From being a kung fu fighter and sharp shooter to a fitness enthusiast who runs 10 km daily, he continues to inspire with his motto: "Conquer the world with Love."
