No, the noun 'many' is a word for a majority of people; as a noun, the noun 'many' is preceded by the word 'the'.

Example: It is the few miscreants that necessitate laws affecting the many.

A collective noun is a noun used to group people or things in a descriptive way.

Examples: a crowd of people, a staff of people, a mob of people, etc.

The word 'many' is also an adjective (when placed before a noun), and an indefinite pronoun (when standing alone).

Examples:

We're expecting many people for the opening. (adjective)

We sent out dozens of invitations and many have already responded. (indefinite pronoun)
