How it all Started

Chettiar was born on 21 September 1901 in Avanipatti, a village in Tamil Nadu's Sivaganga district. In his early 20s, he decided to leave the Sivaganga district, where his father was a wealthy local businessman, in order to explore new territories. He traveled to British Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka), where he saw the conditions of the Indian plantation workers for whom he decided to promote justice and equality by establishing a newspaper. Chettiar established a newspaper in 1930 and named it Virakesari, meaning "victorious lion". The first edition was published on 6 August 1930 in Colombo. This is where the plantation journey for Chettiar began. He established plantations in Gelang Patah, Malacca, which was the first Asia plantation to be owned by an Asian in Mallaca (Malaysia).
