KANNUR: Owner of a construction company in Riyadh, and running business enterprises across the globe, Sooraj Panayil is living a dream. That of serving his homeland Azhikode. The 49-year-old’s life is an inspiring tale of determination, hard work and a consideration for those around him. “I spend around Rs 2 crore every year to help the people of Azhikode. What’s the point of excess money in your pocket, if you don’t want to spend it for the good of others?” Sooraj asks.
For him, it is ‘mission possible’ in Azhikode, with eyes firmly set on the future. “I can’t dream this alone. I see that the people are with me too,” he said. His passion to serve was such that he longed to become an army man as a child.
