The Ramoji GroupBackground Note Contd...Commented Ramoji Rao, "My heritage lies in the soil and my forefathers were all farmers. But I sold off all my property and to atone for this and to do something special for the farmer community I started a magazine in their language" In 1974, Ramoji Rao entered the print media by launching Eenadu, a Telugu newspaper in Visakhapatnam. Ramoji Rao explained, "I focussed on the region which I thought was most relevant to the people." The Hyderabad edition was launched in 1975, followed by the Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh) edition in 1976. In the early 1980s, Ramoji Group entered the foods business with Priya Pickles. The Priya brand was later extended to culinary pastes and powders. The Group then made a foray into films with Ushakiron Movies.
