The Man Leading India's Freemasons

When M.W.Bro. G.K. Selvarajan saw the light of Freemasonry in 1982, he couldn't have known he'd one day lead all of India's 28,000 Freemasons.

But that trajectory makes sense when you understand who he is.

Education & Career

Mathematics degree from Loyola College, Madras — with distinction. Law degree from Madras Law College — First Class. Fellow of the Indian Council of Arbitration.

He built a lucrative practice at the Madras High Court — specializing in civil, criminal, and commercial law. He has served as legal advisor to corporations, banks, and public enterprises.

But it's what he did with success that matters.
