The Genesis of Essae

S.A. Chandran

Founder & Chairman-Emeritus

S.A. Chandran founded Essae on a simple conviction: that a powerful idea, coupled with indomitable courage, can build something that lasts.

Trained as a mechanical engineer, he moved through research and academia before starting the company and setting it on a path of disciplined, value-led growth.

“A powerful idea, coupled with indomitable courage.”
