Kumaran Silks was established in the year 1955 by Shri P. Chengalvaraya Chettiar and his son Shri P.C. Ramamurthy.

     Shri P. Chengalvaraya Chettiar along with his son left their hometown of Kanchipuram to set up a showroom at Chennai. Hailing from a weavers family in Kanchipuram, they possessed rich knowledge on the quality of silk. They started their business in a very small level and their early days were not a bed of roses. But their dedication, honesty, and sincerity took them to the heights of textile world. Within a span of 20 years Kumaran Silks was known world over for its quality goods at competitive prices.

      It was no easy task satisfying the quality hungry customers of Chennai. Shri P.C. Ramamurthy rose to the occasion by setting up his own manufacturing units at Kanchipuram, Kumbakkonam and Arni. His disciplined policies enabled him to procure quality materials from other manufacturers. This enabled them to sell quality goods at the most competitive prices. Kumaran Silks is now the world’s largest textile showroom spreading around 60000 sq. ft. and houses all the varieties of sarees woven through the length and breadth of India.

Kumaran exports cater to the need of the Asian community throughout the world.

     After Shri P.C. Ramamurthy Kumaran Silks is been ably managed by his four sons P.R. Babu, P.R. Subramanian, P.R. Kesavan and P.R. Kumar. The vision of Shri P.C. Ramamurthy to make Kumaran Silks as a one-stop showroom for all the varieties of sarees has been achieved by his sons.
