TVS Eurogrip Tyres profile and life history of tv sundaram iyengar

Our Founder TV Sundram Iyengar

TV Sundram Iyengar was a man of principles and a true visionary. During the 1930s, when riding an automobile was still a distant dream for many Indians, he had the vision to start the first ever rural bus service in Madurai. Business was not only a passion for Sundram Iyengar, but also a service to the common man. His innovative and visionary ideas, hard work and determination formed the base for ‘TV Sundram Iyengar and Sons Group of Companies’, one of India’s largest industrial conglomerates. The group started by Iyengar extended its services to the motor industry, to motor services and several others over the following years. No wonder, even today he is regarded as one of the most successful industrialists of his time. TV Sundram Iyengar was also a forward thinker and a stringent follower of Gandhian philosophies.
