Mr. Karthik Raja Karnan is the founder and CEO of MADique Technologies, a globally recognized leader in food processing machinery.

With a commitment to inclusivity and sustainability, MADique has empowered over 3,000 entrepreneurs, including homemakers and differently-abled individuals, to start their own food businesses.
Under his visionary leadership, the company developed groundbreaking products such as the Automatic Murukku Machine and the world’s smallest automatic idiyappam machine, which earned a record in the Kalam’s Book of World Records. These innovations have made food automation accessible and cost-effective, transforming the lives of entrepreneurs globally.

His contributions to technology and entrepreneurship have been widely recognized with prestigious awards, including the Fast Growing 500 CEO Award, Young Entrepreneur Award, A P J Abdul Kalam Award, and Young Achiever of the Year.
His efforts go beyond technology — his dedication to giving back is evident in his commitment to social causes. As part of MADique’s social responsibility initiatives, one of the standout programs at MADique Technologies is the 10% discount initiative, which provides financial support to differently-abled individuals, ex-military personnel, and families of active-duty military members.
This program underscores his respect for those who have served the nation and his commitment to creating opportunities for marginalized and deserving groups. To further promote his love for education, he gifts every customer a copy of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s biography, encouraging them to embrace lifelong learning. Moreover, inspired by Dr. Kalam’s vision, he has launched an initiative to plant trees by providing free seed balls to every customer. The seed balls contain nutrients and fertilizers to help trees grow, encouraging environmental sustainability. This initiative promotes afforestation and encourages collective action toward a greener planet, engaging customers in meaningful environmental stewardship.
