Shri Kishinchand Chellaram (1880-1951)

Confucius once said that "the inferior man understands what will sell; the superior man understands what is right".

The entrepreneurial genius of KC was not only that he built a successful international business, but that he did so by making the commercial aspects clearly subservient to the uncompromising set of values such as integrity, treating people with respect and dignity, belief in building mutually rewarding relationships, helping the community and balancing the interests of stakeholders.

KC’s thoughts have guided the work of the Kishinchand Chellaram Foundation which today supports various programs that enhance the quality of life for the less privileged community in India.
