Early life
Simon Masrani was born to Sanjay Masrani, founder of the Masrani Global Corporation and its first subsidiary Mascom and an unknown mother. When his father died in 1992, the possession was passed down to Simon. He expanded Mascom's services beyond just satellite television and into weather and telecommunications. Though what put Masrani Global Corporation into recognition was the foundation of Masrani Oil (now Masrani Energy) in Abu Dhabi in 1996, which despite being the youngest oil company in the world it generated the third largest income for any company from 1997-2004.

Jurassic World
Simon Masrani began talks to acquire InGen in 1997 after hearing of the creation of a hybrid plant named Karacosis wutansis made by Dr. Henry Wu and his team of geneticists. InGen was in a poor financial state from the failed attempts of creating a park with living dinosaurs, one on Isla Nublar that spiralled out of control after their computer programmer Dennis Nedry disabled their park's security system by using a virus known as Whte rbt.obj and when they tried to create one on San Diego, Californa which resulted in a male Tyrannosaurus rex causing havoc throughout the city after he broke out of his confinement. But the final blow to the bioengineering company was when their founder and CEO John Hammond passed away.

In 1998, Masrani Global successfully acquired InGen. Simon Masrani decided to use the company he had acquired to fulfil John Hammond's dream of a functioning dinosaur park open to the public. After discussing his idea with high-ranking members of his company and with Dr. Henry Wu from InGen he put his plan into motion. He founded Timack Constuction to help subsidiary Axis Boulder Engineering in planning, preparing, and activating construction of the park that was to be called Jurassic World. Construction lasted from 2002 to 2004 with a total of $1.2 billion spent on concrete and building materials.

During Jurassic World's construction, Simon appointed Vic Hoskins to reinvent the InGen Security Division. Vic was chosen because of how professional him and his team handled an operation in 2001 involving three Pteranodons from Isla Sorna roaming Canada after they were accidently freed near the end of an incident that occurred the following year. InGen Security also defended the construction workers on Isla Nublar from its wildlife and they currently protect Jurassic World ever since its opening.

Jurassic World officially opened in 2005 and had 98,120 in its first month of operation, proving itself to have been a highly successful venture.

2010s
From 2011-2013, his dinosaur park's success began to dwindle, raising concern in investors. To combat this, Masrani and his corporation agreed upon the creation of a genetically modified hybrid known as Indominus rex that would be the latest park attraction. The project was kept secret for over four years with the development of the hybrid starting in 2012. While spending the 2015 new year in Shangai, China, he revealed Indominus rex on his personal blog five months before her enclouser was open to the public. The announcement led to a soar in online booking for Jurassic World. Simon boasted funding for InGen Security in January of 2015, five months before she was open to the public.

After Chinese New Year had passed, he traveled to London for IventiCon 2015 to be among the Masrani employees showcasing his company's latest technologies.

Isla Nublar Incident (2015)
Simon visited his dinosaur theme park Jurassic World weeks before the opening of the Indominus rex Paddock. While there he told Senior Assets Manger Claire Dearing to offer Velociraptor trainer Owen Grady a job to check for any security flaws in the I. rex's paddock.

When the Indominus rex escaped, he, Lowery, and Vivian were among the InGen personnel watching from inside the the park's control room. He ordered Lowery to close the door to the Indominus rex's enclosure and wound up operating the door controls himself when Lowery refused, due to Owen still being in the pen. However, the door failed to close in time and the Indominus rex managed to free itself.

Masarani later prevented Vivian from putting out a park-wide alert regarding the Indominus rex's escape, believing the Asset Containment Unit could recapture the dinosaur without causing a panic. He would soon be proven wrong when the Indominus rex killed the teams led by Katashi Hamada and Austin after first clawing out its tracker to throw them off.

In an attempt to finally stop the dinosaur, Masrani boarded JW001 and pursued it through the park. However, the Indominus rex escaped into the Jurassic World Aviary and caused Pteranodons to leave the enclosure. The Pteranodons promptly attacked the helicopter and caused it to crash. Masrani vanished in the ensuing explosion.
