Its first directors were: Walchand Hirachand, Chairman, Tulsidas Khilachand, Dharmsey Mularaj Khatau, A.N.Raghavachar (Mysore State representative), Venkatanaranappa (Mysore State representative). Company’s office was opened at a bungalow called "Eventide" on Domlur Road.The initiative was actively encouraged by the Kingdom of Mysore, especially by its Young Maharaja, H.H.Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar and the Diwan, Sir Mirza Ismail.
