Marathon Group was formally launched in 1969 by Shri Ramniklal Shah, an educationalist with the ideal of serving society in every way. But the seeds were sown by his father, Zaveribhai Ramji Shah, the Patriarch, in 1992,when he envisioned and planned Mulund, a 550-acre suburb in Mumbai. Marathon continued to contribute to Mulund through the 70's and the 80's, with over 30 landmark projects in this suburb alone, carrying forward the Patriarch's vision, conviction and dedication, making Mulund the 'Prince of the Suburbs'.

In the 90's, Marathon expanded to over the rest of Mumbai and beyond under the stewardship of the next generation, Ramnikbhai's sons, Chetan Shah and Mayur Shah. Qualified civil and structural engineers from USA, the two brothers have consistently set new benchmarks for the group, re-inventing the Group's goal and adopting new age methodologies. Marathon Nextgen is a result of their efforts.

Today, with the ideals instilled in us by earlier generations and the vision of redefining the real estate industry, the Group is venturing in to newer areas: Special Economic Zones, townships, infrastructure development, entertainment and leisure, education, hospitality and the capital markets. Marathon Nextgen is driving the group initiatives into these areas.
