Kalyan Subramani Aiyar

Kalyan Subramani Aiyar (born 6th June 1859) founded the firm bearing his name and started professional practice in Calicut in 1897. He and the firm shifted to Bombay in 1900, where it is head-quartered till this day.

K S. Aiyar, a pioneer of Indian Accountancy and of the Accountancy profession, was first and last, a dedicated educationist. His professional practice kept growing first as sole proprietor and then with partners like Sorab S. Engineer & M.R. Tambe (also an Actuary) and thereafter his sons Bharatha and Arjun Aiyar.

Many of those associated with him went on to become outstanding in their own careers. The faith in him of Bombay's Merchant Princes also grew. The high places of trust and confidence enjoyed over several decades by the firm, provide enough proof of the high standards of excellence attained by his firm and institution.

The Firm has chosen from inception under the able guidance of its founder to be a medium to further the cause of commercial education, since it is considered as a necessity for all mercantile and industrial pursuits.
