My Take
Ramoji Rao is the rare figure whose ambition reshaped an entire entertainment culture. Building Eenadu, the ETV network and the world's largest film studio in Ramoji Film City from a single vision is staggering, and it's why I think of him less as a businessman than as architect of an industry's infrastructure. What moves me is the permanence of it: he passed in 2024, but the studio he dreamed up keeps generating films daily. Founders who leave behind living institutions rather than just fortunes earn my quiet, lasting respect.
