TTM Revenue: $1.7 billion

B SOUNDARARAJAN'S father seeded the idea of entrepreneurship; his mother lent him seed money of ₹5,000 to start a business in Udumalapet near Coimbatore . That was in 1984. Today, the turnover of the company that B Soundararajan and his brother founded back then boasts of sales exceeding ₹13,600 crore and by the looks of it, the fun is just beginning. 

The company is considered one of the biggest poultry companies in India, with operations across the country. Suguna Foods slaughtered 517 million broilers in 2022.
