The Driving Force

people

The men at the helm of The Sanmar Group have provided invaluable leadership to both state-level and apex bodies representing Indian industry. N Sankar, the Chairman of the Group, is a past President of ASSOCHAM (The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India) and Vice Chairman N Kumar, a past President of CII (Confederation of Indian Industry). N Sankar has been a member of the Managing Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Paris, apart from having been the President of the Indian National Committee of the ICC.

The decades-long ties of the Group with Denmark have formed apt expression in both KS Narayanan, Chairman Emeritus of the Group and N Sankar, occupying the position of the Danish Consul General for South India at different periods. Vijay Sankar, a chartered accountant and an alumnus of the Kellogg School of Management, USA, is the new generation director on the Sanmar board.
