By virtue of his position as director of industries, he had exposure to the industrial sector which prompted him to take over the sugar industry in 1941 at Vuyyuru which was not doing well. The sugar factory was of 600 TCD and it was christened as The K.C.P Limited. He was a source of inspiration to many entrepreneurs to setup sugar industries in Andhra Pradesh. Some of them are Andhra Sugars, Sarvaraya Sugars and Deccan Sugars. The K.C.P Ltd never looked back from the year 1941 and gradually by stages it had expanded to 7500 TCD which is the present capacity. The K.C.P Ltd., consequent to diversified operations had, over the years became a conglomerate with multi locational and multi product units, each the size of an independent company. The company has also envisaged plans to setup different projects which required focused attention and substantial resources. Therefore, it had been decided to reorganize The K.C.P Ltd., into two companies. With this objective a new company, under the name and style of K.C.P. Sugar and industries corporation Ltd., has been incorporated in the year 1995. Through a scheme of arrangement duly approved by the Hon’ble High Court of Madras the following manufaturing units along with certain corporate assets and liabilities of The K.C.P Ltd have been vested with the K.C.P.Sugar and Industries Corporation Ltd., with effect from !st April 1996.
