Managing Director of GMB
Great Madras Builders was led by Mr. A.Mohammed Raffee, a Graduate Civil Engineer with over 25 years of technical expertise across leading firms. His engineering vision, practical knowledge, and commitment to quality laid the foundation for the company’s enduring success.
It brings me immense pleasure to pay tribute to this exceptional individual, whose multifaceted personality, impressive achievements, and philanthropic efforts have left an indelible mark on his community.
He began his academic journey at Connaught University in Ireland where he earned a prestigious bachelor's degree in civil engineering. This solid foundation in engineering laid the groundwork for his future success.
Upon completing his education, he took over his father's firm, which he has successfully run for over two decades. Under his visionary leadership, the company has flourished, undertaking numerous high-profile projects that have transformed the urban landscape.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, he is an avid sports enthusiast with a passion for bowling. In 2007, he set the Indian record for bowling a 7/10 pin split conversion in Ameoba Bangalore, a feat that still stands today. His impressive skills also earned him a spot in the Asian Intercity Bowling Championship in Macau, China. He also represented India in the Kegal bowling coaching camp held in Manila, Philippines. Other notable sports friends include Mr. Udhaynidhi Stalin, Mr. Sathish Gowda, and Mr. Ajay Singh.
His commitment to social welfare is truly inspiring. As the owner of the ‘TUDOP’ trust, established by his father Al Haj MS Abdul Majeed, he has been instrumental in providing assistance to impoverished property owners. The TRUST has also arranged weddings, medical, and educational assistance for underprivileged individuals.
A fitness enthusiast, he owns a gym named "Muscle Magic." Mr. World Bodybuilding Champion Rajendra Mani is the Ambassador of the Gym. Raffee is fondly called "Indian Rambo" by his friends.
