Foreword
s a third-generation member of the Murugappa family,
the family’s and the Group’s enduring commitment to
philanthropy has been a consistent presence in my life.
My grandfather, Dewan Bahadur AMM Murugappa Chettiar,
and other elders, all lived the principles of serving the community
alongside the pursuit of profit. Observing them embody these
cherished values profoundly influenced me and subsequent
generations.
As the Murugappa businesses grew, social responsibility became
embedded as one of the Five Lights, the articulated values of
the Group. “We believe we can help make a difference to the
environment and change lives for the better. We will do this in
a manner that befits our size and also reflects our humility,” is
how we define it.
The very essence of the AMM Foundation’s endeavours stems
from these principles, and our daily efforts are dedicated to
upholding them. I deem it my good fortune to preside over the Foundation as it celebrates its centenary year.
At the Foundation, and in the Group, we say and believe that our work should be felt, not heard. The true
protagonists in our story are the beneficiaries of our work. While we continue to subscribe to the notion
that our contributions should speak for themselves, the growing emphasis on corporate social responsibility
prompted us to document our initiatives across various fields.
