AR Prime City

The Founder Story

Y. Appala Raju

Managing Director, AR Prime City

He began in the teaching profession, and for over two decades brought light to countless lives across this district. Later, in the field of finance, he became a towering symbol of trust. Today in Vizianagaram, Appala Raju (AR) is not merely a name. He is a belief, a respect, a legend.

He is a lifelong devotee of Sri Venugopalaswamy. In his village stood an ancient temple to the deity, a shrine of more than eight centuries, fallen into ruin over the years. He took it upon himself to restore it. The temple was rebuilt and developed in full grandeur, and he accepted not one rupee from anyone to do it. That work, more than any other, is what he considers the fulfilment of his life.

Charity has remained close to him since. He has contributed to the construction of numerous temples across the region, and continues to pay the school fees of children from families who could not otherwise afford an education.

A man who stands by his word. A person who lives as an ideal when speaking of values. Someone who has never let go of humility, no matter how high success has taken him.

In time he began to look for a second chapter — not another business, but a creation. Something that would stand as a landmark. Something this district had never seen before. He wanted to give that idea shape while he was still able to see it through.

AR Prime City is the fulfilment of that idea. A premium gated villa community on Vizianagaram's Ring Road, built with the same conviction that rebuilt a temple: that if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing completely.

Founder's Note

“I have watched families in this district buy a plot, wait five years, drill a borewell that gave nothing, and give up. I did not want to sell land. I wanted to hand over a home.”— Y. Appala Raju
