ABOUT PRATEEK SURI
Prateek Suri is not just an entrepreneur—practically a myth-teller of innovation, a legacy builder, and the author of Gateway to Africa, a memoir depicting a journey few dare challenge.
Born in Delhi, India, Prateek's interest in ideas that change lives started early. A Modern School, Barakhamba Road, student, and subsequently a Mechanical Engineering graduate from BITS Pilani, he brought with him a natural affinity for technology and problem-solving—something that started as curiosity turned into conviction—the belief that unconventional ideas, pursued with determination, can alter the fate of entire markets.
It was that belief that found expression in Maser Group, the business he created and grew into a $5 billion market-cap giant. With a single focus on democratising tech through affordability and accessibility, he set his sights on Africa—a continent rich in promise but underpenetrated by multinational tech giants. Maser not only retailed more than 800,000 smart TVs but also became a digital bridge empowering families, providing employment, and redefining Africa’s tech story. With a successful exit, Prateek initiated MDR Investments with a $500 million fund, venturing into infrastructure, mining, AI, and property—consolidating his position as an economic change catalyst.
Outside the boardroom and beyond the balance sheets is another Prateek: the horseman who hears rhythm and sense in the canter of a horse, the investor who backs courageous start-ups, and the family man who thinks success is not to be measured in terms of dollars, but in lives transformed and strengthened. His philanthropic work—working for African sport, education, and community development—resonates with his conviction that prosperity is not singular.
His upcoming book, Gateway to Africa, is more than just a memoir—it serves as a guide for anyone brave enough to pursue opportunities in uncharted territories. Through candid reflections and impactful insights, Prateek shares the lessons, setbacks, and victories that have shaped his evolution from a young dreamer in Delhi to one of Africa’s most influential business figures.
