Growth Story

Sri. G. Kuppuswamy Naidu

Sri. G. Kuppuswamy Naidu was one of the earliest Indian entrepreneurs. He established The Lakshmi Mills Company, a major textile yarn and cloth manufacturer in 1910 in Coimbatore, India.

Sri. G. Kuppuswamy Naidu lost his step-sister, Smt. Rajammal and her newborn due to complications at childbirth and this brought about in him a strong urge to build a hospital for women and children in the society to prevent such unfortunate incidents. His dream was fulfilled by his sons and brother. The hospital started to serve the women & children initially.
