Beginnings

It all began with a dream in 1964.

The late K. Ramanathan, fondly known as Rama, was deeply rooted in the timber trade. One sultry afternoon by the Cooum River in Chennai, as he watched his cargo being unloaded, a thought struck him was he truly making a difference in people's lives? That moment sparked a realization, and he decided to transform his business to align with his dream:

to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.
