AMM Foundation - A Century of Service
A century of service seems the perfect time to speak about the Foundation’s efforts in several fields. This book
is also a tribute to the dedicated efforts of over a thousand Foundation employees, who work passionately
to meet the requirements of those we aim to benefit. The following pages explore the Foundation’s history,
notable contributions to education and healthcare, and enduring positive impact this work has had on
diverse communities.
We are delighted to have enlisted the expertise of Sriram V to write our story. A historian, an entrepreneur,
and a heritage activist, Sriram has a portfolio of over twenty books on diverse institutions. He has also worked
extensively with the late historian S Muthiah, who wrote the biography of AMM Arunachalam, my father.
With his team—designer Malvika Mehra and photographer Vinay Aravind—Sriram has brought to life the
Foundation’s many facets, capturing the spirit of what we do.
The AMM Foundation has evolved from establishing and running institutions to forming partnerships with
individuals and organisations. This reflects our commitment to expanding our reach and impact, in keeping
with the evolution of the landscape of philanthropy in India. I am confident that future generations of the
Murugappa family, and executives of the Group will build upon this legacy.
