Dr. A.V. Anoop, renowned businessman, philanthropist, and filmmaker, is set to launch his highly anticipated memoir, “You Turn: Driving the Legacy behind the World’s Bestselling Ayurvedic Soap, Medimix,” this March.

From humble beginnings to international acclaim, Dr. Anoop’s journey is one of resilience, creativity, and triumph.

His extraordinary achievements—building the global success of Medimix, producing award-winning films, and acting alongside icons like Rajinikanth—are a testament to his unwavering determination and ability to balance professional success with personal growth.
A Legacy Rooted in Tradition, Family, and Innovation
At the heart of You Turn is Dr. Anoop’s dedication to his family, culture, and preserving traditional values. The memoir underscores his commitment to creating products that are natural, organic, and steeped in time-honored practices, offering a refreshing counterpoint in today’s tech-driven world. Through his work with AVA Group of Companies, which manufactures Medimix, Melam Masala, and Sanjeevanam, Dr. Anoop has consistently pioneered innovative ways to address modern challenges while staying true to his cultural roots.
The book also highlights his personal philosophy of perseverance, embodied by his favorite quote from Tennyson’s Ulysses: To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. With little formal training in business, Dr. Anoop’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and the belief in one’s product—turning Medimix into a household name worldwide.
