 UAE, 02 August 2024 – Mr. PNC Menon, Founder and Chairman, Sobha Group, pledges to build 50 homes for families affected by the recent landslides in Wayanad, Kerela, India. This gesture is a heartfelt response to the devastating natural disaster, reflecting Mr. Menon’s deep commitment to philanthropy and community support.
