The TTK Group was founded in 1928 as an indenting agency by T.T. Krishnamachari. The current executive chairman of TTK Prestige T.T.Jagannathan along with Sandhya Mendonca has co-authored a book titled "Disrupt and Conquer - How TTK Prestige Became a Billion-Dollar Company". The book is a journey about the company's many milestones and how it had fought bankruptcy to become a successful company. The company was the first to introduce organised distribution to India, and began life as a distribution agent for a wide range of products ranging from foods, personal care products, writing instruments, to ethical products. World-renowned brands like Cadbury's, Max Factor, Kiwi, Kraft, Sunlight, Lifebuoy, Lux, Ponds, Brylcreem, Kellogg's, Ovaltine, Horlicks, Mclean, Sheaffer's, Waterman's and many more were first brought to India by the TTK Group itself, before the Indian market was liberalised and these brands ventured into India by themselves.
