Our Origin - Heritage & Legacy

    Our Origin

    A legacy built on noble values, strong principles, and the vision of transforming businesses while serving society.

    The Foundation

    Ajay Prabhu, founder CEO of KVP Business Solutions, named his company after his great grandfather, Sri K. Venkatesh Prabhu, a staunch Gandhian and the founder of K. V. Prabhu Oil Mills, Karkala (Est. 1931).

    Freedom Fighter & Social Reformer

    Sri Venkatesh Prabhu was attracted by the ideals of Gandhiji when he was young. He was inspired by the National wave of Freedom Movement and plunged into the "Satyagraha" movement as an active volunteer, resulting in his arrest.

    In 1942, he took part in the decisive "Do or Die" and "Chale Jao" movement. He also ventured to take up the Harijan movement which was dear to Gandhiji.

    His role in building Shabari Ashram, a free ashram for Harijan students in Karkala, is commendable.

    Born Leader & Visionary

    Sri Venkatesh Prabhu, the only son of Sri Narasimha Prabhu and Smt. Padmavati Bai, was a born leader blessed with:

    • • The acumen to see opportunities and build successful business
    • • The courage to take the untrodden path
    • • The determination to see his vision through to fruition

    What clearly set him apart was his ability to simultaneously bring his business abilities to bear on philanthropic and social causes.
