Biography

Dhanin Chearavanont is senior chairman of Charoen Pokphand Group, one of the world's largest producers of animal feed and livestock.

Dhanin is the son of Chia Ek Chor, who along with his brother Choncharoen Chiaravanont, opened a shop selling seeds imported from China in 1921.

CP's other assets include stakes in Chinese insurer Ping An, Hong Kong conglomerate CITIC and telecom unit True Corp. It also owns Tesco's operations in Thailand and Malaysia.

In 2017, after 48 years as chairman and CEO, Dhanin named eldest son, Soopakij, and the youngest, Suphachai, as CP's chairman and CEO, respectively.

In 2025, a unit of the group's telecom arm True secured one of three digital bank licences issued by the government. True also partnered with BlackRock for a $1 billion data centre venture.
