Son of former Union Minister K. Yerran Naidu (the youngest Cabinet Minister in 1996) and with graduation in electrical engineering from Purdue University and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Long Island University, Mr. Ram Mohan Naidu was initially drawn to a career in Singapore but fate led him back to his roots after his father’s death in a road accident in 2012, according to a party release.

A close association with TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu paved Mr. Ram Mohan Naidu’s meteoric rise in politics.
Mr. Ram Mohan Naidu worked as the TDP national general secretary and during critical times such as when Mr. Chandrababu Naidu was arrested in the skill development scam, he played a pivotal role alongside Nara Lokesh in Delhi.
Their combined efforts were instrumental in weathering the storm as they navigated through the political corridors in Delhi, seeking support and solidarity from key leaders.
Mr. Ram Mohan Naidu is a member of various Parliamentary standing committees. He was honoured with the Sansad Ratna Award in 2020 for his exemplary performance as an MP.
