CHAIRMAN MESSAGE
Lion C.R. alias Lion C.Rajagopalan, founder and chairman of the Jayapriya Group of Companies, was born on April 12, 1948, the fourth of four siblings (two brothers and two sisters) in Kothamangalam, Tanjore district, Tamil Nadu. Thiru K.Chinnasamy and Smt.Devaki, his parents, are farmers from a traditional family. They raised their children with joy, courage, and enthusiasm.
Lion C.Rajagopalan began his professional career as a clerk at N.L.C in Cuddalore district. He married Mrs.Kasthuri, who provided extensive support in all of his endeavours and who is become the driving force behind his success. They have been living a well-planned life filled with prosperity and happiness. They have one son and one daughter Mr.C.R.Jayasankar, the current Managing Director of the Jayapriya Group of Companies, and Mrs.R.Padmapriya, a director of the Jayapriya Group of Companies, settled in Chennai with her family.
While working for N.L.C., he used to look after his friend’s furniture shop in his spare time and introduced a hire purchase system. That was a great success in his business career; after that, he opened a bicycle mart and sold bicycles on an EMI basis. He discovered that many people in small businesses use chits to raise funds for their financial needs. He was also aware that N.L.C. employees are interested in chits to raise funds for unavoidable expenses. He made the decision to start chits for the benefit of his neighbours, colleagues, and entrepreneurs. He also lends money to those in need and eventually decided to start chit business.
He founded Jayapriya Chit Funds in 1985 as a partnership firm with a few friends, with a capital of Rs.3 lakhs and three employees. He carried out the business successfully and took over to the next level (in larger scale). Since its incorporation in 1992 (becomes registered chit fund- Jayapriya Chit Funds Private Limited) he provided his full support and hard work towards its growth.
The business involves much risk factor in advancing funds to members through funds collected from members but he managed the business fearlessly. He led the company to a remarkable level with a network of 50 branches spread across several districts in Tamil Nadu and the union territory of Pondicherry, which was reinforced with a strong contingent of 1000 and more employees and a legion of more than 1000 agents dedicated to the service of the subscribers and the company. Western Union, the world pioneer in funds transfer, appointed Jayapriya Enterprises as their franchisee in 2006 to facilitate funds transfer from anywhere in the world to local residents to receive money with ease. Transfast and Ria joined Jayapriya Enterprises as channel partners for international money transfers in 2012 and 2016, respectively. marking yet another milestone in the Jayapriya Group of Companies’ growth trajectory i.e. TATA AIG Life Insurance Company has joined with Jayapriya Enterprises as channel partners to develop insurance business in rural areas,
He has elected as President of Cuddalore District Chit Funds and Financiers Association and he served as a president for 10 years, this is a testament to his reputation and commitment to the organisation. He represented Chit Funds Companies Association and he participated in several forums with Government, to negotiate stringent rules of Chit Funds Act 1982. Another feather in his cap is that he was nominated as Vice President of the All India Chit Fund Companies Association in 2008.
He joined the Lions Club movement to make his career more socially conscious. He is a strict disciplinarian, an honest man, and a generous giver throughout his life. In collaboration with the Lions Club and professionals in the field, he ran numerous health camps, blood donation camps, and camps for eye care. Jayapriya Charitable Trust was founded by him. JAYAPRIYA NIDHI LTD (1994), JAYAPRIYA THEATRES (1995), JAYAPRIYA GUEST HOUSE A/C CUDDALORE (2006), JAYAPRIYA AGENCIES, HP (2010) and so forth are some milestones in his career trajectory.
