Group Meeran
Group Meeran traces its roots to 1968 when M. E. Meeran established Eastern Trading Company, which later became Eastern Condiments. Navas Meeran now leads the office as Chairman while Firoz Meeran serves as Vice Chairman. The family sold a 67% stake in Eastern Condiments to Orkla ASA. The office targets early-stage investments through direct co-investments, SPVs and fund-of-funds structures. It maintains exposure to consumer brands, real estate projects such as Nanma One Cochin and Eastern Corporate Tower, and venture bets in healthcare and technology. Geographic reach covers Asia and the Middle East. One named holding is Diet Fibre 365 Food Products Pvt. Ltd. Team size and total deployment remain undisclosed. Navas Meeran also holds the role of President of the Kerala Football Association. The office lists membership in the Kerala Angel Network and TiE Kerala. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Group Meeran maintains separation between its commercial investments and the ME Meeran Foundation. Capital allocation follows a multi-decade holding period typical of single-family offices built on operating-company proceeds rather than external fund commitments.
