Our story
Every ring is a chapter.
A tree records its life in rings. Ours begins in 1945 with a timber depot in Gudiyatham and grows outward through three generations of one family.

The timber depot
Mr. Kulasekaran, with the support of his father Dr. Krishnaswamy, a physician, opens Thirumal Timber & Tiles Depot in Gudiyatham, in the erstwhile North Arcot District. The family's life in wood begins.
