Traditionally agriculturalists, the forefathers of Kelachandra family ventured into several businesses and over the years the Family has produced generations of pioneering entrepreneurs who have spearheaded many businesses in Kerala and Karnataka.
Mr. K. Thomas Chacko, eldest Son of Mr. Kuruvilla Thomas got involved in Boat Manufacturing and Boat Services while his younger Son Mr. K.T. Thomas set up K. Thomas & Sons Pvt. Ltd., an engineering workshop in the year 1912 which later endeavored into a foundry. This company pioneered in manufacturing of Hand Rubber Roller machines in Travancore. It was also significant in history for getting the first consumer connection from the Kerala State Electricity Board through the Pallom Power House, at a time when the Pallivassal Power Station became operational. The company was later renamed as Kelachandra Engineering Works.
Two generations later, Grandsons of Mr. K. Thomas Chacko formed The Kelachandra Group of Companies, a leading conglomerate with a business portfolio of Property Development, Property Management Services, Infrastructure Development, Estates & Plantations, Travel & Tours, Exports, Manufacturing and Services.
