Manappuram Group Of Companies

Manappuram's origins go back to 1949 when it was founded in Valapad (a coastal village in the Thrissur District of Kerala) by the late V.C. Padmanabhan, father of Shri Nandakumar. Its activity was mainly pawn broking and money lending carried out on a modest scale. The principal asset of the company was the integrity and foresight of its Founder and among the people of the area it soon acquired a reputation as a safe-haven for their investments.
