Remembering G A Menon (1931 - 2003)

At the heart of UST lives the vision of one man: G A Menon, an inspirational
leader who first charted the course of UST. Through his distinctive legacy of
values, he established the foundation to be the "best IT and BPO services
company in the world".
|

G A Menon was born in North Paravur in Ernakulam district, Kerala, South India.
He majored in mathematics from Madras University and then graduated from Harvard
Business School. He began his career as a Systems Manager with IBM in India.
When IBM closed its India operations in 1978, he set up Multi Tech Systems,
which then merged with Venture Manufacturing Singapore Ltd. in 1989. Venture
Manufacturing is today one of the largest electronics manufacturing companies in
the world.

He was also the founder-chairman of U.S.-based Magnecomp International. The
company was a manufacturer of suspension assembly, an extremely high-precision
component used in the read/write heads of hard disk drives used in computers.
Magnecomp went public in Singapore in 1998. Today it is the world's second
largest manufacturer of suspension assemblies with operations in the U.S., Hong
Kong, China, Thailand, and Singapore.

Animation in Los Angeles, USA. Later, Toonz Animation established a
state-of-the-art animation studio, Toonz Animation India Pvt. Ltd., in
Technopark Trivandrum, India. Toonz Animation is today the largest animation
studio in southeast Asia.

He played a pivotal role in the formation of TiE Kerala, both from within India
and from California. He contributed significantly to the formation of the Kerala
Support Group in California, aimed at entrepreneurial development in his home
state, Kerala.

In a life celebrated by corporate achievement, G A Menon was Chairman of 14
companies across the globe. G A Menon was a person who deeply influenced the
world around him. His passing away in 2003 was, for us, an irreparable loss.

Every day, associates working across the U.S., India, Malaysia, and Europe set
new standards in global IT sourcing and delivery. Every day, we surpass client
expectations and set new benchmarks. Each of these milestones in services
excellence reflects our founding vision.

We believe that enterprises have a responsibility to society. As a company, in
all of our decisions, actions, and plans we honor this responsibility.
