Sir Shri Ram

Their great grandfather, Sir Shri Ram believed that “Only education can open the doors of prosperity”, helping to alleviate inequality.

He set up the Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) in 1926.

At a time when society did not afford women the freedom to pursue their own dreams, Sir Shri Ram established one of India’s few All-Women colleges – the Lady Shri Ram College for Women (LSR) in 1956. He also established The Shri Ram Research Institute and The Anglo Sanskrit School.

In 1970, inspired by Sir Shri Ram’s legacy, SRF Ltd. was born.

The company was started by the founders’ grandfather, Padma Bhushan Late Dr Bharat Ram and their father, Mr. Arun Bharat Ram.

Over the last 50 years, SRF has evolved into an Indian multinational; with diverse businesses and market-leading brands; strong R&D and a footprint across the globe. SRF Foundation is the corporate social responsibility arm of SRF Ltd.
