History[]

The Amalgamations Group was established by S. Anantharamakrishnan[1] 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.[2][3] According to popular Chennai historian S. Muthiah, the successful takeover was the result of an overheard conversation at a Hotel Connemara.[3]
