Legacy of Leadership
Janab Thangal Kunju Musaliar (1897-1966)
The name Thangal Kunju Musaliar conjures up memories of an era, when the call for independence echoed in every corner of the country. As a visionary, he understood that empowering an emerging nation lay in a strong and self-reliant economy. Thus, he pioneered the cashew export trade and soon built a vast business empire through impeccable planning and systematic implementation. By 1940, he had the unique distinction of being one of the world’s largest employers. To him, it means sustainable income to thousands of families. His next step was to bring quality education to the society. Indeed, his extraordinary foresight made him an industrialist, educationalist and philanthropist par excellence. The life of Thangal Kunju Musaliar exemplifies a personal drive with ‘vision’ in its true sense. The Government of India has issued a commemorative stamp in his honour.
