Vijayaraghavan (3rd January 1948-8th July 2020) served the TVS Group for over five glorious decades. He played a pre-eminent role in the growth of TVS Srichakra right from its founding, where he continued to be actively involved till his passing, as a Director on the Board, said the TVS press release.
As a veteran of the rubber and tyre industry, and as an active member of several industry bodies, he played a pivotal role in the growth of the sector in India.
MOTOWN INDIA EDITOR ADDS: I have personally known Mr P. Vijayaraghavan for several years. Even though we met several years ago, when I had visited the TVS Srichakra plant in south India, he insisted on calling me on my birthday every year. It was always a short and sweet phone call, wishing me and then ending the conversation with a “God Bless”. He would also send across a small box of chocolates to my house with his wishes. I can never forget this lovely gesture and will always remember him as a wonderful human being and a very capable man. May his soul rest in peace! RIP.
