Chairman
of TVS Suzuki and Sundaram-Clayton, Venu Srinivasan is the
grandson of TVS Founder - T. V. Sundaram Iyengar.
Despite being from a business family, Venu Srinivasan's
induction started off as a car mechanic at their own TVS
garage. Annual vacations meant 8 hours a day of sweat and
grime in the garage.
This engineering graduate and MBA (Purdue University,
United States), is known for his obsession with excellence.
That perhaps, accounts in part for Sundaram Clayton winning
the global quality benchmark - the Deming Application
Prize. Venu Srinivasan is also credited with pioneering TQM
(Total Quality Management) based on the Japanese model,
long before most enterprises in India did. This man who
bridles at the sight of even a scrap of dirt on his factory
floor, believes in the all-encompassing scope of quality
consciousness.
