History
editThe Amalgamations Group was established by S. Anantharamakrishnan[4] who during the early 1940s was a Director at Simpsons & Co.
In 1945, he took over the management and later consolidated several British owned companies with interests in plantation, engineering, trading and services.[5][6] According to popular Chennai-based historian S. Muthiah, the successful takeover was the result of an overheard conversation at a Hotel Connemara.[6]
