(4-9-1929 to 4-12-2007)
C P Saranathan started his career with Mettur Chemicals and continued with Chemplast Sanmar till the age of 60 as Senior Vice President. S Ramaswamy, the first GM of Chemplast had mentored him in the early years and Saranathan provided his technical expertise which he had in abundance.
According to R Kalidas of TCI Sanmar, Egypt, who benefited from his tutelage, “he was a very knowledgeable person and shared his knowledge freely. He was a fine gentleman, an all-weather friend and most of all, a willing teacher.”
Saranathan was the 4th child, born on the 4th day of September, married on the 4th of July, lived in flat no.4 on the 4th Main Road and passed away on the 4th of December at the age of 78. A prayer from everyone at Sanmar to his departed soul and deep felt condolences to his family.
