From a single trading counter in 1932 to one of Mysore's most established agricultural houses, our journey is built on generations of dedication.
K. Veerabhadra Mudaliar founded KVM & Co. at Santhepet, Mysore with a clear vision: supply high-quality, locally grown produce to buyers across India.
Within two decades, the business expanded beyond produce trading. Mr. K. V. Mudaliar established an oil mill, a saw mill, an electric laundry, and several charitable organizations across the Mysore district.
A. Chinnaswamy Mudaliar and his son, C. RajaSekharan, carried the legacy forward for over 30 years. They refined operations, strengthened supplier networks, and earned deep goodwill from customers across the country.
R. VijayaShekar took the helm, upholding the ethical standards established over the previous five decades.
Under R. VijayaShekar's leadership, KVM & Co. shifted its core focus to building large-volume customers across the nation. He struck deals with major companies that have lasted for decades, many continuing to this day. KVM & Co. became a key supplier to these large enterprises, establishing relationships built on trust, consistency, and volume.
Now in its 94th year, KVM & Co. continues to be a trusted name in agricultural trade. Four generations of commitment to quality, fairness, and reliability have made us one of Karnataka's most enduring agricultural produce trading houses.
