About Me

Learning. Leading. Succeeding.

Born into a legacy of entrepreneurial excellence, Mr. Vishnu R. G represents the third generation of a business family that has shaped the food industry in Kerala and beyond. The RG Group, founded in 1940 by Sri M. Gopalan, began its journey with a focus on producing premium-quality Gingelly oil—a product that quickly became a household name across the state. This foundation of trust and quality was later expanded by his father, Mr. Ramesh R. G, who strengthened the company’s operations and extended its reach throughout India.

With a deep understanding of both heritage and modern business needs, Mr. Vishnu R. G, as CEO & Executive Director, has led RG Group into a new era—transforming it into a global enterprise rooted in values yet focused on innovation.

A New Era for RG Group
