About Gaanagam
In Memory of Mr. C. Anbalagan, CEO of Gaanagam
At Gaanagam, we honor the legacy of Mr. C. Anbalagan, our esteemed CEO and a passionate organic farmer. From the young age of 13, he dedicated his life to cultivating the land, mastering traditional farming techniques, and promoting sustainable agriculture. His commitment to organic farming has inspired generations, and his influence continues to guide Gaanagam’s mission of providing wholesome, traditional foods.
Mr. Anbalagan’s deep-rooted love for farming was inherited from a long line of dedicated agriculturists and visionaries. His father, Mr. M. Chinnayan, served as a member of the Congress Committee between 1956 and 1979, contributing to both agriculture and public service. His grandfather, Mr. R. Mookan, was not only a farmer but also ran a dairy farm alongside his wife, R. Cauvery Mookan, embodying the spirit of self-sufficiency. Mr. Chinnayan father, Mr. Rajalingam, was a traditional rice merchandiser, ensuring that the finest grains reached people across the region.
Now, the mantle of leadership has passed to Mr. Jayavel Anbalagan, the Managing Director of Gaanagam and the fifth generation of this proud farming family. He carries forward the responsibility of sustaining the legacy of traditional farming, organic practices, and cultural preservation under the Gaanagam brand.
Through Gaanagam, Mr. Jayavel Anbalagan continues to uphold the values of his ancestors, blending modern innovation with time-honored agricultural techniques. The journey that began with Mr. C. Anbalagan and his forefathers continues to thrive, ensuring that the future is rooted in the wisdom of the past.
