Paul Devapriyam Pulla

Young Manager 1994
25+ Countries
Community First
A first-generation entrepreneur

A vision rooted in faith, community and service.

Paul Devapriyam Pulla is a first-generation entrepreneur — a strong visionary and an experienced management professional in the fields of International Trade, Marketing, Finance and Construction. A management graduate from Osmania University, Hyderabad, India, Paul was awarded the Young Manager of the Year in 1994 by the Hyderabad Management Association in recognition of his all-round excellence, leadership and contribution to organisational growth.

Born and raised in Christian faith by parents who were instrumental in establishing the first CSI Church in Moghulapalli, Warangal, Paul strongly believed community development is asset building that improves quality of life. After 12 years of multinational professional experience and 12 years of business across 25 countries, he stepped aside from corporate life to focus on community-based work.

In 2008, Paul ventured into faith-based broadcasting — sharing the message of God's love and the Good news through satellite television to the Christian community across Andhra Pradesh and to the Telugu community around the world through ARADANA TV.

Your life is just a means of delivering something to others before saying goodbye...
