Sri Narayanam Murali, B.Com., is the Promoter Director and Chairman & Managing Director (CMD) of NCS Industries (P) Ltd. carrying forward a proud legacy as a third-generation entrepreneur. After graduating in 1985, he immersed himself in the family’s diverse business activities and today holds nearly four decades of hands-on leadership experience across industrial, infrastructure, and international trade verticals.
In 1992, he successfully revived a sick alcohol distillery near Kakinada, turning it around and later divesting it at a substantial profit. His business foresight and operational acumen have since played a pivotal role in shaping the future of NCS.
Sri Murali independently manages the group’s strategically located bulk liquid storage terminals at Kakinada (since 1999) and Karwar (since 2005). He has also overseen the operations of the group’s 400 TPD edible oil refinery, including packaging, logistics, and import-export operations. A hands-on leader, he was deeply involved in the end-to-end planning and construction of the NCS Kakinada terminal in 1999, and was instrumental in raising the capital needed to bring the vision to life.
Beyond business, Sri Murali is a dedicated contributor to community welfare and spiritual heritage. He was a former Director of the Cocanada Chamber of Commerce and remains actively involved in cultural and devotional service. He is the founder president of the Gokulam Temple for Lord Krishna, a revered spiritual landmark in Kakinada, spread over two acres and sustained by his personal contributions.
He also manages community institutions like the Saraswati Gana Sabha and the Ashram Shravana nursing home in Kakinada. As a committed *Rotarian*, he supports health-related initiatives including blood donation drives and free eye camps with generous personal contributions.
His most monumental contribution is to the creation of the Ramanarayanam Temple in Vizianagaram, a spiritual theme park spread over 15 acres. Designed in the shape of Lord Rama’s bow, this architectural marvel houses statues of a huge 65 feet Lord Hanuman and 72 intricate depictions from the Ramayana. Since its inauguration in 2014, it has attracted over 1 crore devotees and was awarded **“Best Religious Theme Park in Andhra Pradesh” that same year.
Today, Sri Murali continues to guide the younger generation of directors at NCS, offering wisdom, vision, and stewardship to help the business grow while staying rooted in values.
