PC Range managing director Raaj Menon

While many tremble at the manufacturing rise of China and India, Raaj Menon recognises only opportunity. The 45-year-old technology entrepreneur believes these burgeoning giants offer great shoulders to stand on for the broadband and wireless networking distribution business he runs from Australia.

Born in Malaysia, Raaj moved to India at age nine. Eight years later, he left for the US to pursue a career as a commercial pilot. In the following two decades, he entered the IT industry, mastered the art of IT sales and built software games developer Megamedia Corporation into a substantial success, before moving to Australia in 1997.

Based in Adelaide, Raaj set up distribution company PC Range www.pcrange.com.au and secured a distribution agreement with Billion Electric Co. Ltd. Since the year 2000, PC Range has built the Taiwan-based corporation's reputation for brilliantly engineered networking equipment into a market-leading position in Australia. In the prestigious 2007 Australian Broadband Survey, conducted annually by tech-savvy website Whirlpool, Billion was named the preferred router brand by 23.7 per cent of the nearly 18,000 respondents. This was twice the level of the second-placed brand.

Raaj Menon is expertly placed to speak on topics that range from emerging trends in broadband and wireless networking equipment to the challenges of managing globally sourced suppliers.
