The Madras Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) is a landmark institution in the world of business. Founded by a group of leaders in the world of South Indian business, it soon began advising the Government of the day on how to create an environment that would be conducive to the commercial development of the region.

Post-independence the Chamber transformed from a representative of trading interests to voicing concerns of the industry. It has fought the government against many legislations that it believed would not be conducive to business and also assisted them in ensuring compliance with new changes that would benefit the industries of the region. In the 21^st century, the Chamber continues to change with the times, taking into consideration the interests of the new businesses as they emerge.

Sriram is one among the team of catalysts that help put together Madras Week each year in August to celebrate the founding of the city.

The book details how Madras evolved and became the Chennai we know today, a land of opportunities that encourages enterprise. It is an essential slice of history that everyone would be proud to associate with.
