K. M. Mammen Mappillai (28-Nov-1922 to 3-Mar-2003) had born in Kerala. He was born to K. C. Mammen Mappillai (1873-1953) and Kunjandamma (- 1950) as the the youngest of the prosperous family of eight sons and a daughter.

He graduated from the prestigious Madras Christian College. He started his industrial life with a toy balloon manufacturing unit from a small shed near Madras (now Chennai) in 1946.
