Shri. A. Kulandaivel Mudaliar
Shri. A. Kulandaivel Mudaliar was the founder of TCS Textiles Pvt. Ltd. Humble beginnings saw the birth of The Chennai Silks in the textile town of Tirupur, South India, in the early 1960s.
Initiated as khadi showrooms, the chain of stores rapidly grew to different regions of Tamilnadu. Catering to diverse segments of the society, the stores earned an endearing name for itself among all its customers.
Soon, the stores were metamorphosised into grand textile showrooms in the major cities of Coimbatore, Chennai, Trichy, Erode and Tirupur.
Spread over a sprawling area of over 2 lakh sq.ft., The Chennai Silks finds pride of place amongst the largest textile chain of showrooms in South India.
With a wide-ranging collection of apparels – from trendy readymade garments to attractive dress materials to exquisite sarees – the stores have become a desired destination for the discerning shopper.
The Group also has its own textile export arm “The SCM Groups” which is a prominent exporter of hosiery to the demanding markets of Europe, USA, among other countries and also involved in wholesale orders for domestic and global clients.
Besides its forte in textiles, The Chennai Silks has its own exclusive jewellery division, Sree Kumaran Thangamaligai.
Having the unique distinction of being the first BIS 916 hallmarked jewellery showroom in Tamilnadu, it has the most finely crafted designs in Diamonds, Gold and Silver. The jewellery stores are grouped with the textile showrooms at Coimbatore, Erode and Tirupur.
